Rare Disability as an Absent Category in Educating Pre-School and Early School Teachers
Abstract
A rare disability (RD) is a concept that is much broader than multiple disabilities; a rare disability includes all kinds of disabilities. A rare disability is connected with the medical diagnosis of a rare disease. In the last decade, an increase in the number of children with RD, who participate in therapies and education, is noticeable. Thus, it is important for pre-school and early school education students to learn about various issues connected with rare disabilities. The main goal of the research carried out by the author of the article was the analysis of teaching curricula of the universities who teach pre-school and early school teachers in the context of disabilities, including rare ones. The main method of analysis was desk-research. Seven curricula were analysed (five universities and two academies). Based on the results, it may be concluded that students study various issues related to pre- schoolers and early school children with diagnosed intellectual or mul- tiple disabilities. Additionally, some other aspects of disabilities are brought up, e.g. visual, hearing or/and motor impairment. On the other hand, none of the analysed curricula included issues related to rare disabilities.
