Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2004, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper is a review of the project/process of deinstitutionalization of children from Special institute in Demir Kapija. It is an empiric and longitudinal study of developmental achievements of children with severe mental retardation. We present our own experiences, without making comparison with other experiences in this process. For the last three and a half years, 50 children have been included in the project: 30 of them left the institution and now they stay with their families or foster families. The precondition for leaving the institution is the change of the children’s condition in regard with abilities for independence, obtaining new habits and experiences.
