Our organization - Spojená škola internátna in Vranov nad Topľou is a state educational institution engaged in education of children with intellectual disabilities of varying degrees. We provide training 190 students, most of whom suffer from mental disability and in addition to other associated disabilities, such as the. physical, visual, hearing or suffer from diseases such as. epilepsy, diabetes. These children come from marginalized Roma communities, ie from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. They live in poor areas segregated settlements in our city and its surroundings. They do not sufficiently stimulating family environment for their personal and educational development. We report the lack of basic hygiene practices, low level of self-service skills and ways of behavior. Working with these children is extremely challenging and educators working with them must be professionally at a high level with appropriate experience and a sense of empathy. Educational activity the teacher of such children requires a supply of new knowledge and suggestions for its improvement and innovation that will attract, attract their attention and convince them of the merits of education and the acquisition of basic skills for their future life.

After graduation, participants developed mobility materials to which incorporate the acquired knowledge and skills of observation.
