Sažetak
Purpose According to WHO data, about 10% of children have some disabilities. In the Register of Persons with Disabilities in Croatia, 5.8% of children in primary school have difficulties that require an appropriate form of education. Leading problem are disorders of speech and voice communication. Objective The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and type of disability among primary school students in Varaždin County and to analyze difficulties in treatment and involvement of students in school. Material and Methods: The study comprised 15622 primary schools students in school year 2009/10. We analyzed proposals for education given by School Committees for Assessment of Child Psychophysical Status. Results: Assessment for appropriate form of education was given to 828 (5.3%) of primary school students. The majority of them had more kinds of difficulties (47.5%), followed by disorders of speech and voice communication (31.4%), mental retardation (7.6%), physical disability (7.4%), behavioral disorders (3.5%). In adapted educational program was included 49.3% of students. Education with individual approach required 25.4%, special program 17.9% and extended professional treatment 2.3% of students with disabilities. All schools have at least one professional person in staff, teacher or a social educator. Other profiles as psychologists, speech and occupational therapists usually missed. There is also insufficient number of schools that can perform certain types of education (partial integration, extended professional treatment or special program). Conclusion: Successful education of students with disabilities requires educational and rehabilitation procedures. Education of students with disabilities is regulated by the Law on Education in Primary and Secondary Schools and the Regulations on the Education of Students with Disabilities. Currently, the number of schools and number and types of experts for carrying out of certain programs is still insufficient.
