Difficulties with which families with exceptional children are faced at present

Abstract

Environment, different family structure, social crises and other unfavourable economic circumstances significantly influence the dynamics of life, behaviour, stresses and sources of frustration in some parents. Offered attempts to help families of exceptional children are mostly not well-timed, systematic and efficient. Offered solutions are sporadic, without support of the state and cooperation amongst ministries relevant to solving problems of families with exceptional children. The cooperation between family and school is an old issue, but with the lifestyle changes it acquires new meanings and definitions as well as a new approach, not only in research but in practical solution, as well. In our country, last ten years represent a period when the old moral norms are broken while the new have not begun to live yet what is consequently reflected on the family life, school management as well as on redefining of professional scientific themes and priorities.

Okolina, različita struktura porodice, društvene krize i druge nepovoljne ekonomske okolnosti bitno utiču na dinamiku života, na ponašanje, stresove i izvore frustracija nekih roditelja. Pokušaji pomoći koji se nude porodici dece sa posebnim potrebama, uglavnom nisu blagovremeni, nisu sistemski i nisu efikasni. Rešenja koja se nude su sporadična, nema podrške države kao ni povezanosti resornih ministarstava relevantnih u rešavanju problema porodica dece sa posebnim potrebama. Pitanje saradnje porodice i škole je staro pitanje, ali promenom konteksta življenja ono dobija nova značenja i određenja i traži novi pristup, kako u proučavanju tako i u praktičnom rešavanju. Poslednjih desetak godina naša zemlja nalazi se u periodu kada se prekidaju stare moralne norme, a nove još nisu zaživele, što se neminovno odražava na život porodica, funkcionisanje škola kao i na redefinisanje stručno naučnih tema i prioriteta.
