Pedagogical support for families raising children with early developmental disabilities

Abstract

The article aimed to form a theoretical and practical basis for pedagogical support for families raising children with early developmental disabilities. The article included methods of analysis and synthesis to form the theoretical and methodological foundations of pedagogical support for parents and children. This article provides an analysis of the stages of stress and reactions that arise in parents at the birth of a child with developmental disabilities: 1. The expectation of the child. 2. Shock. Daze. The decline of strength. 3. Denial. 4. Feelings of anger, guilt. 5. Emotional adjustment or acceptance. Finding resources in overcoming. A study of successful experience in the field of early pedagogical support shows that comprehensive support for children and their families is effective when an interdisciplinary team including doctors and specialists in psychological and pedagogical support (a teacher-defectologist, a speech therapist, a special psychologist, a social pedagogue) works. These two groups of specialists perform different labor functions and must have different competencies. Teachers and parents need to use the basics of remedial education in the educational and pedagogical processes.
