School team for inclusion
In Canton Sarajevo - Bosnia and Herzegovina we have inclusion in regular schools since 2004, which is regulated by the Law on Primary Education. In addition to the law to date, no rules have been made for the implementation of inclusive education in regular schools, nor have any documents been made that facilitate the implementation of the inclusion of children with disabilities. No regular school has an employed defectologist and a special educator working with children with disabilities. Schools headed by a school menagement are forced to provide an assistant in the teaching of defectologists and enable quality inclusion in the school system. This is one of the ways we have decided to ease the work and give the child maximum help and support. We have appointed a school inclusion team that consists of:
- School principal
- Pedagog-psychologist school
- A teacher of a child with autism
- Assistant - help and support for a child with special educational needs, assistance to the teacher and the whole class
- Logoped-defectologist special educator
- Parents of students
The task of the school team is to make an initial assessment of students with autism, then to set priorities and steps for implementation. The school team meets once a week, analyzes students' inquiries, discusses the difficulties of involving a child with disabilities and the disadvantages of the Individual Educational Program and proposes improvements.
