CHALLENGES OF INCLUSION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PARENTS AND EDUCATIONAL WORKERS
CHALLENGES OF INCLUSION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PARENTS AND EDUCATIONAL WORKERS

Summary/Abstract: The inclusion of children with developmental disabilities in the regular educational system is a process that is being developed and perfected. Accepting diversity and understanding the difference cannot be changed in a short time. It is an ongoing process, and it takes a lot of effort and time to achieve good results. When all actors of the inclusive process have similar views on inclusion, then we will be able to talk about acceptance, understanding and its successful implementation. Informing and educating students, teachers, and parents of children without disabilities is a good basis for developing inclusion and an inclusive society. Within the project "Educational - rehabilitation support for children with disabilities in inclusion", members of the Association for Support of Children with Developmental Disabilities "LALA" carried out workshops and lectures for students, parents and teachers. The goal of the project was to provide support to children with developmental disabilities, parents of children with developmental disabilities, as well as teachers in order to make the educational process as successful as possible for all actors of the inclusive process. After the workshops and lectures, we examined the views of parents of children with developmental disabilities and educators about inclusion and the challenges they most often face. The results of the research showed that both sides share the opinion that it is necessary to permanently work on information, education and communication between all actors of the inclusive process of upbringing and education with the aim of building an inclusive society.
