Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 1997, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In realization of the conception for work with mentally retarded children, the work of the expert staff should be directed towards the child, parents (family) and the environment. The parents, instructors and the other members of the family, in order to be equal cooperators should know the basic characteristics of the mentally retarded child, i.e., to get to know their child. It is known that the parents have different approach and attitude towards their child and his/her disorders, which spread between two extremes: from complete denial, nonacceptance and rejection to over-protection of the child. The attitudes, behavior and emotional climate of the family where the child lives play important role in shaping of the child personality. The work with the parents of mentally retarded children takes a special place in the working program of the Federation of the Associations for Assistance of MRP in the Republic of Macedonia. The so-called “week-end gatherings” have shown as the best, the most successful and the most useful forms of work with parents. According to the system of therapeutic community, the experts, the parents and their mentally retarded children are together at these week-end gatherings.
