Abstract

Intelektualne teškoće (ranije nazivane i mentalnom retardacijom) odnose se na stanje u kojem osoba ima značajno ograničene intelektualne sposobnosti i poteškoće u adaptivnom ponašanju. Ova ograničenja utječu na svakodnevni život, komunikaciju, socijalne vještine i samostalnost. Intelektualne teškoće najčešće se javljaju prije 18. godine, a mogu biti posljedica različitih genetskih, okolišnih i bioloških čimbenika. Zbog svih tih ograničenja ova je skupina među najranjivijom u našem društvu te je često na margini društva. Kako bi mogle živjeti ispunjen i produktivan život važne su formalna i neformalna podrška, te jednak pristup obrazovanju i zapošljavanju kao temeljima za dostojanstven život. Rad analizira položaj osoba s intelektualnim teškoćama kroz povijest, etiologiju, klasifikaciju i epidemiologiju, te neke aspekte života osoba s intelektualnim teškoćama, te ulogu socijalnog radnika u radu s ovom ranjivom skupinom u našem društvu.

Intellectual disabilities (formerly also called mental retardation) refer to a condition in which a person has significantly limited intellectual abilities and difficulties in adaptive behavior. These limitations affect daily life, communication, socioal skills and independence, Intellectual difficulties most often appear before age od 18, and can be the result od various genetic, environmental and biological factors. Due to all these limitations this group is among the most vulnerable in our society and is often on the margins od society. In order to be able to live a fulfilling and productive life, formal and informal support and equal access to education and employment are important as the foundations for a dignified life. The paper analyzes the position of people with intellectual disabilities through history, etiology, classification, epidemiology and some aspects of the lives od people with intellectual disabilities and the role of social workers in working with this vulnerable group in our society.
