Zamojski model rozwiązań systemowych na rzecz osób niepełnosprawnych – od diagnozy po dorosłe życie

Abstract

The article presents the Zamość model of system solutions of the care for disabled people from childhood to adulthood. It has been developed and inculcated by the Association of Help for Disabled Children Krok za krokiem in Zamość for 20 years. The support provided for a child and the family is organized in the form of day care in the integrated system of rehabilitation, educational and social activities. Such a form is convenient for the parents as it does not require their constant presence with the child and relieves them from some of their responsibilities. The system is similar to the organization of education and support of children without disabilities who develop their intellectual, emotional and social potential in kindergarten and school groups. The choice of such an idea of working with a disabled child was dictated by the fact that none rehabilitation method or technique is capable of fulfilling all conditions necessary for the proper development of a child nor of his or her family functioning.
