| Abstract | Ovaj završni rad se odnosi na položaj djece s Down sindromom u predškolskim ustanovama. Kroz rad se obrađuju različiti termini i činjenice vezane uz navedeni sindrom. Down sindrom nastaje prilikom grešaka kod prenošenja kromosoma za vrijeme diobe spolnih stanica kada se unutar jedne stanice nađe višak dijela ili jednog čitavog kromosoma. Ovaj sindrom uzrokuje različite zdravstvene poteškoće s kojima se susreću i djeca i odrasli, a spomenute poteškoće će biti obrađene u nastavku ovog rada.
Budući da se sama tema rada odnosi na položaj djece s navedenim sindromom u predškolskim ustanovama, kroz rad će se nastojati analizirati kako se djeca s istim sindromom uključuju u redovne vrtiće na području Republike Hrvatske, koja je uloga odgojitelja i roditelja u tom procesu, kako igra i različite druge aktivnosti unutar vrtića utječu na razvoj djece s Down sindromom i sl. Kada se govori o ulozi roditelja u procesu uključivanja njihovog djeteta s Down sindromom u redovne sustave obrazovanja, valja reći kako su upravo oni ti, koji su uz odgojitelje, zaslužni za to da njihovo dijete normalno funkcionira, druži se s vršnjacima i obrazuje se. Zbog toga postoje različiti sustavi podrške roditeljima i obiteljima djece s Down sindromom, kako bi im se omogućila uspješna inkluzija njihove djece.
Činjenica je da se nastanak Down sindroma ne može spriječiti, i da on ne bira rasu, spol, financijska sredstva obitelji iz kojih dijete potječe, stoga je vrlo važno upoznati čitav svijet s ovim sindromom, omogućiti poštivanje i uvažavanje prava osoba s Down sindromom. Povodom toga se 21. ožujka svake godine obilježava Međunarodni dan osoba s Down sindromom. |
| Abstract (english) | This final paper refers to the position of children with Down's syndrome in preschool institutions, therefore, the paper deals with various terms and facts related to Down's syndrome. First of all, Down's syndrome occurs when there is an incorrect transfer of chromosomes during the division of external cells, when an excess of one whole or part of a chromosome is found inside one cell. As such, this syndrome causes various health problems that both children and adults face, which will be discussed in the rest of the paper.
Furthermore, since the topic of the paper is the position of children with Down syndrome in preschool institutions, the paper will try to analyze how children with Down syndrome are included in regular kindergartens in the Republic of Croatia, what is the role of educators and parents in this process, how does it play and various other activities within the kindergarten affect the development of children with Down syndrome, etc. When talking about the role of parents in the process of including their child with Down syndrome in regular education systems, it should be said that it is they who, along with the educators, are responsible for this that their child functions normally, socializes with peers and gets an education. For this reason, there are various support systems for parents and families of children with Down syndrome, in order to enable them to successfully include their children.
The fact is that the occurrence of Down's syndrome cannot be prevented, and that it does not choose the race, gender, financial means of the family from which the child originates, therefore it is very important to introduce the whole world to this syndrome, to enable the respect and appreciation of the rights of people with Down's syndrome, for of which March 21 is celebrated every year as the International Day of People with Down Syndrome. |
