DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEM REGIONS WITH INSTITUTIONALLY INTEGRATED CHILDREN AT THE EARLIEST AGE
Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 1997, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The examination was carried out with the developmental test by Cuturic with every infant at the end of the first (103 infants), the second (120) and the third month (123) calendar age at the Infant and Small Children Center in Bitola. Besides the knowledge of general development (indicated with numeric value for the cathegorization possibility as retarded-limited-normal-faster-significantly accelerated), the test enables establishment of the development in three fields: motor, oculomotor and socialization with possibility for cathegorization in the previously mentioned five cathegories. The received results were statistically worked out for each age cathegory and for each field of the age cathegory and then they were mutually compared. The received results, unfortunatelly, rejected the stated and tested zero hypothesis and on their basis it was stated that the three month stay of the infants in the institution influenced negatively the dynamic of the psychomotor development in the sense of its retardation and it was indicated through decline of the developmental coefficient values-higher and better to average, average to weaker. The analyses of the developmental dynamics in different fields show that during these three month period the best is the motor development which decline from month to month is present, large and statistically significant. The additional education of the employees for behaving with children, the increase of the number of the employees, employment of special staff (educators, psychologists, somatologists, speech therapists and others) is only a part of the responsibilities of the adults in order to enable and ease the realization of the children developmental potential.
