Vključevanje otrok z motnjo avtističnega spektra v redne osnovne šole

Trobec, Julija (author), Videmšek, Petra (mentor)

Diplomsko delo se osredotoča na otroke z motnjo avtističnega spektra (MAS), ki so vključeni v redne osnovne šole. V teoretičnem delu so opisana poglavja motnje avtističnega spektra, izobraževanje otrok s posebnimi potrebami, inkluzivno izobraževanje, svetovalno delo v šoli ter socialno delo v šoli. V empiričnem delu pa sem s pomočjo kvalitativne raziskave pridobila poglede ter izkušnje socialnih delavk na vključevanje otrok z MAS v redne osnovne šole. Rezultati, ki sem jih pridobila z intervjuji s socialnimi delavkami na rednih osnovnih šolah, nakazujejo na pomembno vlogo socialnih delavk v šolskem prostoru. Otrokom z MAS nudijo različne oblike podpore in pomoči, predvsem pa je njihovo delo usmerjeno na individualno obravnavanje vsakega otroka. Pomembno vlogo imajo tudi pri sodelovanju s starši. Socialne delavke v veliki večini podpirajo vključevanje otrok z MAS v redne osnovne šole. Rezultati pa nakazujejo tudi na potrebo po dodatnih sistemskih prilagoditvah za otroke z MAS v rednih osnovnih šolah. Na koncu so predstavljeni še predlogi, ki bi lahko otrokom z MAS šolanje naredili bolj prijazno. Predlogi temeljijo na rezultatih raziskave.

• Title: Including children with autism in regular elementary schools

Abstract

The diploma thesis is focused on children with autism spectrum disorder in mainstream elementary schools. The theoretical part describes chapters on the autism spectrum disorder, education of children with special needs, inclusive education, school counseling and social work in schools. In the empirical part, through qualitative research, I obtained the perspectives and experiences of social workers with the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorder in mainstream elementary schools. The results obtained from interviews with social workers in mainstream elementary schools suggest the important role of school social workers. They provide various forms of support and assistance to children with autism spectrum disorder, with their work primarily focused on individualized treatment of each child. They also play an important role in collaborating with parents. The majority of social workers support the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorder in mainstream elementary schools. However, the results also suggest the need for additional systemic adjustments for children with autism spectrum disorder in mainstream elementary schools. In conclusion, suggestions that could make schooling more accommondating for children with autism spectrum disorder are presented. These suggestions are based on the results of the research.
