Abstract

New legal regulations in Poland provide for the need of earlier diagnosis and intervention. The regulations refer to two diterent diagnoses, i.e. a teachers’ diagnosis and that of the specialist (clinical). The teachers’ diagnosis (of the kindergarten and school) results from the process of recognizing and assessing a child’s problems. While the specialist (clinical) diagnosis is carried out at the psychological and pedagogical clinic. Both forms complement each other. A preliminary assessment of the lack of readiness to attend school and the risk of specivc learning diuculties should be made as early as at the preschool stage within the teachers’ diagnosis. The discussed directive (RMEN-PPP) imposes an obligation on the kindergarten and the school and makes the institutions responsible for recognizing children’s diuculties and providing them with assistance. However, if the assistance is to be etective, the mentioned centres should cooperate with parents and specialists from the clinic.
