THE EDUCATION
AND SOCIAL REHABILITATION OF VISUALLY IMPAIRED CHILDREN IN THE
In the presented paper, in a very
plastic way, short information is given for the transition from boarding
schools for visually handicapped children
to resource centers and integration of those children in the mainstream
schools, in the early 70 -ies. At the same time, the necessary assumptions that
were created for successful and multidisciplinary treatment ( medical, social, educational etc. ) are stressed. They enable integration of visually handicapped children,
as a process that will constantly develop and
enrich with knowledge and
treatment.
