Tyrimas atliktas, siekiant atskleisti mokyklos bendruomenės požiūrį į specialiųjų poreikių vaikus, atskleidžiant jų patiriamus sunkumus, tarpusavio bendravimo ypatumus. Siekiant šio tikslo, buvo tiriami Vilniaus rajono mokyklų 7-9 klasių moksleiviai bei mokyklos bendruomenė. Buvo siekta išsiaiškinti, ar pasyvus specialiųjų poreikių vaikų dalyvavimas šių dienų integruotoje klasės bendruomenėje, ar jie jaučiasi vieniši, ar iš negalią turinčių vaikų dažnai tyčiojamasi, ar jie erzinami, ar specialiųjų poreikių vaikai gali tapti atpirkimo ožiais. Apibendrinant tyrimo metu gautus duomenis, galima teigti, kad specialiųjų poreikių vaikai dažnai patiria patyčias bei bendravimo sunkumus su bendraamžiais, sunkiai prisitaiko klasėje. Kartais patys specialiųjų poreikių vaikai provokuoja konfliktines situacijas. Dėl minėtų veiksnių vaikai, turintys negalią, neretai išgyvena įtampą, o tai trukdo jiems sėkmingai adaptuotis mokykloje. Kad vyktų sėkminga integracija, mokykloms reikėtų dėti daugiau pastangų darbui su specialiųjų poreikių mokiniais, klasės auklėtojai turėtų tarpininkauti įvairiose situacijose, ugdyti specialiųjų poreikių vaikų bendravimo ir konfliktų sprendimo įgūdžius, formuoti tolerancijos nuostatas klasėje. / The research was carried out to identify school community’s attitude to children having special needs, revealing difficulties they usually experience and peculiarities of communication among them. Students from 7-9 forms and school’s community from the region of Vilnius were interviewed in order to achieve this purpose. The aim of this research was to find out if the behavior of children having special needs is passive in integrated community of the class, if they feel lonely, if disabled children are often laughed at, if they are often teased, if blame is often put on children having special needs. Summarizing the results of the research, it would be possible to argue if children having special needs experience difficulties in communicating with others and are teased or face some difficulties while adapting to the class. Sometimes children having special needs provoke conflict situations. Due to the mentioned factors, disabled children often experience stress, which prevents them from successful adaptation to school. For a successful integration, schools should put more effort in working with children having special needs, the headmasters of the class should become mediators in different kind of situations, encouraging children’s having special needs communication, developing skills which would help to resolve conflict situations as well as developing tolerance in the class.

Suaugusiojo asmenybę apibūdina psichologiniai, fiziologiniai, juridiniai ar socialiniai požymiai, o psichologiniai pokyčiai yra susiję su asmenybės raidos stadijomis. Psichologinėje plotmėje šokis padeda pasąmonėje glūdinčius dalykus perkelti į sąmonės lygmenį, o palaipsniui didėjant judesio ir kūno saviraiškai, didėja ir psichologinių pokyčių galimybės, nyksta išankstinės nuostatos, kategoriški įsitikinimai, atsiranda naujas požiūris ir nauji vertinimo kriterijai.

After the restoration of Lithuanian independence, it has become a necessity to learn the Lithuanian language for many citizens of Lithuania, whose native language is not Lithuanian. In the schools of national minority children with special needs also have to learn the state language. As it is observed in practice, not all children with special needs come to school with perfect knowledge of their native language, so we can presume that these children encounter with a lot of difficulties, arising from their surrounding factors, while learning the state language. This work is performed to reveal the peculiarities of teaching and learning the state language to schoolchildren, having special needs, at national minority school. Two groups of respondents took part in this research: Lithuanian language teachers of national minority schools and children with special needs. Analysis of the research has shown that the number of schoolchildren with special needs integrated into national minority schools is increasing. The Lithuanian language teachers of national minority schools do not have enough knowledge about teaching non-native language to schoolchildren with special needs. However, the educators’ attitude towards these schoolchildren is positive. A lack of special language teaching devices, textbooks is felt while educating children with special needs, so the teachers differentiate and constantly prepare individual tasks for these schoolchildren.
