Komunikacija med materjo in otrokom pomembno vpliva na razvoj otrokovih govornih spretnosti. Slepota ali slabovidnost omejuje dostop do podatkov iz okolice, kar lahko negativno vpliva tudi na razvoj komunikacije med materjo in otrokom. V svojem magistrskem delu se osredotočam prav na to, kako se spremeni komunikacija med materjo in otrokom zaradi otrokove motnje vida. V teoretičnem delu najprej predstavim pomen vida v komunikaciji, nadaljujem pa z predstavitvijo predjezikovne in jezikovne komunikacije. Posebno poglavje posvetim lastnostim govora matere otrok z motnjami vida ter razlikam v komunikaciji glede na stopnjo izgube vida, temama, katerima se posvetim tudi v empiričnem delu. Za namene raziskave sem intervjuvala štiri matere otrok z motnjo vida s pridruženimi motnjami in brez njih. V raziskavi sem skušala preučiti komunikacijo mater z otroki z motnjami vida nasploh (geste, asertivnost, responzivnost, sporazumevalne spretnosti …). Zanimalo me je tudi, kaj matere smatrajo kot učinkovite strategije in načine vzpostavljanja uspešne interakcije ter ali so bile deležne svetovanja s tega področja. Skušala sem izpostaviti razlike v komunikacije glede na otrokovo stopnjo izgube vida. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da so matere generalno odzivne na otrokove komunikacijske znake, bodisi nejezikovne, bodisi jezikovne, ter da pri vzpostavljanju interakcije izhajajo iz interesa otrok. Menijo, da svojega lastnega stila interakcije niso drastično spreminjale zaradi motnje vida, prav tako pa niso bile deležne svetovanja s tega področja v okviru zgodnje obravnave. Kot najpomembnejšo strategijo vzpostavljanja uspešne komunikacije navajajo prilagajanje interesu in razpoloženju otroka, preostale strategije pa se razlikujejo in so odvisne od materinih izkušenj z interakcijo mati-otrok. Z zloženko, oblikovano na podlagi preučene literature in rezultatov raziskave, bom materam ponudila nasvete za vzpostavljanje uspešne komunikacije z otrokom z motnjo vida.

• Title: Communication between mother and her visually imapired child

Abstract

Communication between mother and child has a significant impact on the development of children's language skills. Blindness or visual impairment limits access to information from the environment, which may have a negative impact on the development of communication between mother and child. In my master's thesis I focused on how the communication between mother and child alters due to visual impairment. In the theoretical part I introduced the importance of visual input in communication and then continued with introduction of prelinguistic and linguistic communication. I devoted a special chapter to the characteristics of communication between mother and child with speech difficulties and to differences in communication depending on the degree of vision loss. These two topics are also what I discuss about in the empirical part. For research purposes, I interviewed four mothers of children that are visually impaired with and without any other associated disorders. In my research I examined communication between mothers and their children with visual disabilities in general (gestures, assertiveness, responsiveness, communication skills, etc.). I also wanted to find out what mothers consider as effective strategies and ways of establishing a successful interaction and if they have received any guidance in this area. I tried to highlight the differences in communication depending on the child's degree of vision loss. The results showed that mothers are generally more responsive to the child's communication signs, may they be verbal or non-verbal. Mothers are also more attentive to child's interests when it comes to establishing interaction. They believe that their own style of interaction has not dramatically changed because of visual impairment, neither have they received any guidance in this area in the context of early treatment. As the most important strategy for establishing effective communication, mothers stated adaptation to the interests and moods of the child. Other strategies varied and depended on the mother's experience of the mother-child interaction. The leaflet, designed and based on studied scientific literature and the results of the survey, will offer mothers some guidelines for establishing a successful communication with their visually impaired child.
