Abstract

Djeca s teškoćama u razvoju i njihove obitelji često se suočavaju sa značajnim
izazovima kada je riječ o uključivanju u zajednicu. Pojam djece s teškoćama u razvoju uključuje
„djecu s dugoročnim oštećenjima koja, ovisno o fizičkim, društvenim, gospodarskim ili kulturnim
preprekama, mogu ograničavati njihovu mogućnost da potpuno sudjeluju u društvu na jednakoj
osnovi s drugima” (Lansdown, 2011:1). Roditelji djece s teškoćama često se suočavaju sa
ograničenim uslugama podrške, financijskim teškoćama i emocionalnim stresom, dok se kreću
kroz sustav koji još uvijek u potpunosti ne razumije i ne rješava njihove probleme. Svi ovi
čimbenici zajedno stvaraju okruženje u kojem se djeca s teškoćama u razvoju i njihove obitelji
moraju stalno boriti za uključivanje, prihvaćanje i jednake mogućnosti unutar svojih zajednica.
Važno je shvatiti da inkluzija predstavlja kontinuiran proces koji mora postati dio društva te se u
skladu sa njome mora planirati daljnji razvoj zajednice. Inkluzija djece s teškoćama u razvoju u
lokalnu zajednicu igra ključnu ulogu u osiguravanju cjelovitog razvoja i dobrobiti djece s
teškoćama u razvoju. Inkluzivne zajednice djeci s teškoćama u razvoju osiguravaju pristupačnu
infrastrukturu, inkluzivno obrazovanje i specijalizirane usluge podrške omogućujući im da
napreduju i ostvare svoj puni potencijal. Cilj ovoga rada je prikazati položaj djece s teškoćama u
razvoju, njihova prava i izazove s kojima se suočavaju s posebnim osvrtom na ulogu socijalnog
rada u promicanju inkluzije u zajednici.

Abstract (english)

Children with developmental disabilities and their families often face significant
challenges when it comes to inclusion in the community. The term children with disabilities
includes "children with long-term impairments that, depending on physical, social, economic or
cultural barriers, may limit their ability to participate fully in society on an equal basis with
others" (Lansdown, 2011:1). Parents of children with disabilities often face limited support
services, financial hardship and emotional stress while navigating a system that still does not
fully understand and address their issues. All these factors combine to create an environment
where children with disabilities and their families must constantly fight for inclusion, acceptance
and equal opportunities within their communities. It is important to understand that inclusion is
a continuous process that must become part of society and the further development of the
community must be planned in accordance with it. The inclusion of children with developmental
disabilities in the local community plays a key role in ensuring the integral development and
well-being of children with developmental disabilities. Inclusive communities provide children
with disabilities with accessible infrastructure, inclusive education and specialized support
services enabling them to thrive and reach their full potential. The aim of this paper is to present

the position of children with developmental disabilities, their rights and the challenges they face,
with special reference to the role of social work in promoting inclusion in the community.
