    Focus on international experience

    One of the coming of our time is amazing progress in developing and
    practical application of new methods of teaching children with a lag
    Mental Development.

    First of all, it

    «Early pedagogical assistance»
    these children from birth to 4 - 5 years (and their parents) and mentioned above «Integrated education» - Education and training of these children in
    district kindergartens and schools in the environment normally developing
    Personnel.

    Parents and teachers began to be better conscious
    such guys in love, attention, promotion; They were convinced that these
    Children can, as well as others, with benefit to learn at school,
    Actively relax and participate in society.

    One of the consequences
    such progress in civilized countries is that all children with
    Down syndrome is brought up in families, and not in special institutions
    Outside home.

    Many of them visit ordinary schools where learn to read and
    write. Most adults with Down syndrome have a job, find
    friends and partners can lead a full and fairly independent
    Life among ordinary people. Our country - while at the beginning of this path.



    We use new learning methods

    The growth in the popularity of early pedagogical care programs is due
    The results of their implementation. Comparative studies have shown that
    Children with whom they were engaged in such programs, by the time of arrival
    in kindergarten and to school knew how much more than those whom they are not
    Touch.

    Many children began to visit ordinary local schools where they study
    In general grades on individual programs. According to research,
    All children show the best progress in education in terms of integration.

    Being among typical developed peers, a special child receives
    Examples of a normal, appropriate age. Visiting school
    at the place of residence, these children have the opportunity to develop
    Relationship with children living next door. Visit usual
    schools is a key step towards integration into the life of a local society and
    Societies in general.

    Children with medium and even with severe violations learn to read and
    write, communicate with them surrounding them "Healthy" people. They are seized
    these skills are not because they give some

    «medicine», And because,
    that they were taught what you need, when you need, and so, as you need.

    IN
    Our country also creates the centers of early pedagogical assistance and
    Attempts to integrated education such children begin. In 1998
    The Ministry of Education of Russia recommended that widespread use

    Special profile

    It is impossible to say that children with Down syndrome are just behind in their
    overall development and thus need only in a simplified program.
    They have a certain

    «Profile of trainee» with characteristic strong and
    Last sides.

    Knowledge of factors that make it easier or make it difficult
    learning allows teachers better to make plans and select
    tasks, and more successfully work on their implementation.

    copy their behavior; ability to study on materials

    Relationship with parents, with peers

    Emotionally children with Down syndrome do not differ from their
    Healthy peers. Due to more limited than

    Communication circle, children with Down syndrome are more attached to parents.

    In order to establish positive, friendly relations between
    children with disabilities and normally developing peers should

    This essay on the topic «I - as if the animal, in motion» Posted
    Our daughter faith, student class 7. It seems neveChildren with Down syndrome. Opportunities for social adaptation. Part 2List achievement for
    man in 15 years, but not for whom the Down syndrome.

    This diagnosis was put back in the maternity hospital, almost immediately after birth,
    Than for a long time you plunged us with my wife in the bunch of heavy experiences. All
    Joy and celebration from the birth of a child turned inside out.

    Comforted us a year later on the European Congress of Organizations
    parents whose children were born with Down syndrome. We saw eyes
    these parents, calm and confidently looking into the world, and - with light
    Love and joy - on our child.

    We learned the name of this glance - «stimulating», Inspiring on life and development. Before that were
    nervous search for information, tips like «Just take care of her» and
    Hope for the fact that the diagnosis is erroneous for which you can hide although
    for time.

    With the first successes of faith, the joy of communication appeared, and gradually we
    They themselves learned «shine» eyes on her daughter. Learned to treat K
    child - to his own and others - with expectation of success, learned how to create «Developing environment», What, of course, is not easy in our life.

    Would comfort us before, when she was born, this is the future essay and
    Long list of achievements, including the latter - dance classes in style
    Flamenco and workout in the badminton section? I think yes.

    Would upset us all those difficulties - «barriers», which we are usual
    overcome in everyday life, chagrins that overtake
    Suddenly, when you meet her peers and peers, much more
    Skillful and independent? Finally, those efforts that the whole family,
    Including nearest relatives, applied to its development and education? Not
    Know...

    We have become other - stronger, more brave and older.

    But still being younger and self-reading, we have created an organization
    Parents - Association «Down Syndrome», To protect our rights
    children, as the same parents do the same in the West, and transmit further
    Generalized experience.
