FORMATO cartaceo AREA Ricerche ANNO 2000 AUTORE Pr Anatoliy Havkin, Peter Gourvitch, A. Podlepa, I. Kostin PAGINE 8 RIASSUNTO The problem of psycho-sociological treatment of children with motor impairment remains desperately relevant in Russia today. In fact there are very few schools or educational institutions available to these children. The overwhelming majority of educational establishments do not accept these children.The few that do segregate the disabled from the able. Children with motor disorders have very particular needs and the groups and workshops offered are not structured to meet those needs. in particular the opportunity for social intercourse is sadly lacking. The waiting list to attend such an institution is several years long. So only a small number of children who are accepted, fail to get the help they need to integrate into every-day life. Furtermore, there is no reliable information about the institutions which do exist, so parents find it difficult to locate any source of help. REPERIBILITÀ info@cnranire.it
