Rola przystosowań w nabywaniu aktywności własnych uczniów z głęboką wieloraką niepełnosprawnością

Abstract

One’s own activity is one of the main factors of development and its basic manifestation during childhood is play. Persons with severe multiple disabilities experience a deficiency in that activity due to motivational and perceptual problems as well as motor disability. Such a situation results in a low level of activity and the forms of classes suggested by carers and therapists usually have the character of passive participation. The article attempts to convince, on the basis of real-life examples, that the use of some adjustments that will make a task more accessible, both cognitively and physically, is an opportunity for the own activity of a person with severe multiple disabilities. In order to achieve that it is necessary to exhaustively observe the student, especially with regard to his or her motor and perceptual abilities as well as the interests displayed.
