Description

The project will be implemented in the period 01.03.2022-31.12.2023. by ZSS in Pechery in partnership with GSD Europlus Sp. z o.o. and Polish Cultural School Association in Trondheim. The project will contribute to the development of inclusive education by reducing the risk of school failure, social isolation, anxiety, withdrawal and depression of children with disabilities, who will be covered by classes implemented using the method of bilateral integration. The author''s modification of the School Program of Bilateral Integration is a 26-week program of activities in which each student will participate in three therapy sessions per week (including 2 individual sessions and 1 group session). The classes will be implemented according to the original scenarios of individual and group sessions developed within the project. In order to verify the effectiveness of the applied model of support in improving the functioning (in the motor, cognitive and social areas) of children and youth with moderate intellectual disabilities, research will be conducted using a natural experiment method. As a result of the project, on the basis of the research results, two products will be published: a textbook and a scientific article (in two language versions). Both results will be made available free of charge to all interested parties and can be used by educational institutions. Under the project there will be 2 dissemination events, 5 project meetings, 1 study visit, 2 trainings for 13 teachers.
