Sažetak
Introduction and goal: Students with psychophysical difficulties preventing them from participating in equal educational process with other students are offered learning difficulties educational programs at time of enrolling 1st grade of primary school or anytime during education. The goal was to analyze number of students with learning difficulties educational programs in regular classes in primary and secondary schools in Samobor and Sveta Nedelja. Participants and methods: We analyzed medical documentation of students with learning difficulties educational programs of all primary and secondary schools in Samobor and Sveta Nedjelja through School Medicine Service. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics methods, and presented at a significance level of P <0.05. Results: From total number of students in school year 2021/22. in primary schools (N = 4456) there were 347 (7.8%) and in secondary schools (N=1238) 167 (13, 49%) students with learning difficulties educational programs. In both primary and secondary schools significantly more boys than girls (66.6% vs. 33.4%, P <0.001 ; and 64, 7% vs 35, 3% ; P=0.01). Most students with learning difficulties educational programs in both primary and secondary school were educated through individualized education regular program (79.0% and 73, 1%), followed by the regular program with content adjustment (21, 1% students in primary and 24, 6% in secondary school). Most students had speech-language, communication and specific learning difficulties (46.7% in primary, 54, 5% in secondary), followed by a combination of behavioral and mental health disorders (21% in primary, 12, 6% in secondary) and physical health disorders (13.5% in primary, 13, 8% in secondary). The largest number of students were offered learning difficulties educational programs in first grade (21.0%), followed by second and third grade (19.6%), fourth grade (15, 3%), fifth grade (10, 7%). Conclusion: Significant number of students already enter the school with learning difficulties educational program or are offered one in early years of education, which is a good sign of early detection of difficulties and providing adequate assistance and successful schooling. Regarding language-speech, communication difficulties and mental health disorders are the most common difficulties in students with learning educational programs, it is necessary to strengthen diagnosis and interventions of these disorders in preschool age.
