Objectives

By implementing the project, we wanted to achieve a wide application of adapted teaching material and applications in teaching children with autism spectrum (referred to as ASD) and other forms of intellectual disabilities (referred to as ID).Also, we wanted to create a unique base of materials available to everyone and at any time, which would greatly facilitate the work of teachers in regular schools and special education teachers. We would train teachers for independent materials production, which would constantly increase the database. The existence of such a database can be an idea and a guideline for the teaching for many teachers in regular schools. Based on the material, there is a learning application that monitors all areas and is additionally adapted to the specifics of children, enabling them to develop independence and facilitating the entire learning process.In general, the main goals for the implementation of this project were: improvement of the quality of educational work with children with ID and ASD, support for inclusive practice, free access to the material base and application, teacher training for independent preparation and application of materials in order to improve personal and professional competencies

Background

Knowing the way of learning and the specifics of children with different developmental disabilities obliges teachers to adequately choose approaches, methods and tools in their work. In the countries of the region, there are no adapted teaching materials that would bring students closer to the contents of the national curriculum. Teachers, educators, parents as well as all other participants in the educational process rely on their own resources to find adequate methods and means of work. The development of modern technology and digitization of teaching have created favorable conditions for various tools that enable easier learning and functioning of children with disabilities, but not a single available learning application was based on the national curriculum. The challenge was also insufficient competence and training of teachers to independently create learning materials, which caused teachers to spend a lot of time in searching different platforms of suitable materials. All this led us to the idea of creating a database of adapted teaching materials and an application based on the curriculum in 3 subjects of the 1st cycle of education (mother tongue, mathematics,sience) created in Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian.
