Problems of socio-cultural adaptation of children with health limitations to school and ways to solve them

Abstract

Solutions to problems arising in the process of adaptation of a child to school are considered. The features of the adaptation process are determined. During the study, the most important aspects of adaptation were selected: physiological, psychological and socio-cultural. The relevance of the study lies in a detailed consideration of the issue of adaptation and socialization of children with health limitations to school, who face not only difficulties in adapting to new social conditions, but also need individual work with teachers and specialists. When working with the adaptation of children with health limitations, other participants in this process – teachers and parents may face many difficulties. The methods of solving the professional and psychological incompetence of teachers working with children with health limitations during the adaptation period are considered in detail. Parents are also important participants in the process of adapting a child with health limitations to educational activities. Therefore, it is necessary to determine how specifically parents understand their involvement in this process and how well they are aware of this issue. To obtain the most up-to-date data, a sociological survey was conducted in the questionnaire format, in which parents of children with health limitations took part. The results showed that, despite the active participation of parents in the period of adaptation of a child with health limitations, they still face difficulties that require additional work with specialists and resources to obtain the necessary information.
