DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEM REGIONS
WITH INSTITUTIONALLY INTEGRATED CHILDREN AT THE EARLIEST AGE
The
examination was carried out with the developmental test by Cuturic with every
infant at the end of the first (103 infants), the second (120) and the third
month (123) calendar age at the Infant and SmallChildrenCenter
in Bitola. Besides
the knowledge of general development (indicated with numeric value for the cathegorization
possibility as retarded-limited-normal-faster-significantly accelerated), the
test enables establishment of the development in three fields: motor,
oculomotor and socialization with possibility for cathegorization in the
previously mentioned five cathegories. The received results were statistically
worked out for each age cathegory and for each field of the age cathegory and
then they were mutually compared. The received results, unfortunatelly,
rejected the stated and tested zero hypothesis and on their basis it was stated
that the three month stay of the infants in the institution influenced
negatively the dynamic of the psychomotor development in the sense of its
retardation and it was indicated through decline of the developmental
coefficient values-higher and better to average, average to weaker. The
analyses of the developmental dynamics in different fields show that during
these three month period the best is the motor development which decline from
month to month is present, large and statistically significant.
The
additional education of the employees for behaving with children, the increase
of the number of the employees, employment of special staff (educators,
psychologists, somatologists, speech therapists and others) is only a part of
the responsibilities of the adults in order to enable and ease the realization
of the children developmental potential.
