| Main themes |
The course will emphasize educational problems of the disabled which are linked to the features of their disability. These features are considered more as obstacles to 'normal development' and quality of daily life, which psychologists must take into account. The course is designed to provide better understanding of the frameworks within which special intervention takes place and will introduce students to the wide variety of these disability situations.
