Sažetak
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is hereditary disorder that affects collagen type I. It belongs to the group of rare diseases, with a prevalence of 1:10-20000. A child with OI requires adjustment of schooling process in line with the health status, in order to enable conditions and support for achieving the maximum potential of the child, especially in physical education (PE). E.T., seven years old, is a first grade student of primary school. OI was discovered at the age of four after having three fractures of lower leg bones, within six months, following a minor trauma. In line with anamnestic data and clinical findings (square head and blue sclera), the orthopedist suspected on OI. Performed tests (densitometry, X-ray of the left hand) confirmed the diagnosis of OI type 1. Bisphosphonate therapy was introduced. The boy is in regular check-ups of nephrologist, otolaryngologist and dentist. At the beginning of the school year, the boy and mother came to the school health service for schooling process adjustment. According to the latest findings of orthopedist, activities that increase a risk of fracture should be avoided. The first grade PE curriculum has been analyzed in collaboration with the teacher and adjustment was made. Jumping, skipping, running, climbing to heights, participating in contact sports have been prohibited. Passing and catching the ball could be done only using soft ball, and exercises on the mat, shaping exercises, crawling and swiping were allowed. Teachers were educated about the OI, and students are sensitized to the issues. The education of students with disabilities is based on the principles of accepting diversity and equalizing opportunities to achieve the maximum potential. Adjustment of schooling process, and education of teachers, and classmates about the specific difficulty are prerequisite for the successful inclusion of a child with disabilities.
