PERSONALITY OF CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES: A STUDY OF PEDAGOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES IN CZECHOSLOVAKIAN SCHOOLS
Abstract
This paper underlines the personality problems experienced by children who are receiving rehabilitation therapy for learning disabilities. In difficult cases the professional help for the child has to be linked with family therapy. The paper includes information about pedagogical and psychological services in the schools ofCzechoslovakia. These centres, organized in the 1960s, at first included pediatric consultations, but later concentrated on psychological and pedagogical diagnostic and therapeutic care. The three major areas of activity concem (a) the relationship between acting-out behaviour and leaming disabilities in children, (b)family problems, and (c) appropriate vocational guidance. RÉSUMÉ L'auteur de cet article souligne les problèmes de caractère qu'éprouvent les enfants à qui l'on administre une thérapie de réadaptation pour des difficultés d'apprentissage. Dans les cas difficiles, l'aide professionnelle donnée à l'enfant doit être liée à une thérapie familiale. Cet article contient des données sur les services pédagogiques et psychologiques offerts dans les écoles de Tchécoslovaquie. Ces services qui ont vu le jour dans les années 1960 comportaient au début des consultations pédiatriques mais ils se sont concentrés par la suite sur le diagnostic psychologique et pédagogique et sur les soins thérapeutiques. Les trois principales sphères d'activité portent sur a) le rapport entre la mise en acte et les difficultés d'apprentissage chez les enfants, b) les problèmes familiaux et c) l'orientation professionnelle qui convient.Downloads
