Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2005, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper is a review of a specific longitudinal-empirical study for the model and so far achieved results of deinstitutionalization and integration of children with severe and deep mental retardation at the Special Institute Demir Kapija in Republic of Macedonia. At the same time we present certain experience, knowledge, attempts, our attitudes and activities in the process of socialization, precisely re-socialization and developmental-rehabilitation, compensatory treatment of children with severe and deep mental retardation who have lived and developed for a longer period mainly in conditions of institutional treatment, concerning much more accommodation and care and less development and education or re-education. This model is still in the process of following-up and improvement. The model, certainly respects the previous scientific and expert world-wide achievements, but the challenge is that the whole treatment is related to the socio-cultural context of our country.
