Description
As a part of the project, the PP will organize an international conference called Educating Children with ASD. At this conference, pre-school and primary school teachers and managers from Reykjavík will share their experience with teaching autistic children. The PP will create a methodology book for Czech teachers consisting of entries made by the participants of the conference.
Summary of the results
The goal of the project was to prepare and hold an international pedagogical conference We educate children with autism spectrum disorders for 60 teachers from Prague and the Central Bohemian Region with the theme of integrating children with ASD into the mainstream education. We managed to achieve this goal, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we had to make significant changes (several times). We originally planned a face-to-face conference for teachers from the capital and the surrounding area with the face-to-face participation of experts from Iceland. In the end, we had to completely switch over to the online version, including the participation of island guests, which of course significantly increased the number of participants and their origins. Unfortunately, we were unable to carry out the planned trip of Czech teachers to Iceland (the travel ban came 10 days before departure), and therefore we had to change the program as well, while the Czech teachers'' direct experience from the trip to Iceland was absent. The conference program is thus to make more use of the systems and to compare both educational options and the practice of integrating children with ASD into the mainstream education stream in both systems.
