TRAINING OF PARENTS OF MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE TREATMENT

Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 1997, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

Working in the way of "a collective as a doctor" in which the personnel, the mentally retarded persons and their parents live together during their weekend meetings, 3-7 days, in a calm and warm atmosphere, it was possible to find out a great number of neuropsychiatric diseases, imitating mental retardation, while their intelligence was normal. The importance of the early detection of the syndrome of pseudoretardation is in the use of adequate therapy and of course far better prognosis for a great number of patients. Though this form of work, it is possible to educate the parents of the mentally retarded persons, so that they can easier recognize their children's symptoms and take part in their further therapy. The author's opinion is that the adequate recognizing of these syndromes may reduce the number of wrong diagnosed and categorized persons and make their prognosis better.
