Ma már nem kérdés, hogy a sokszínűséggel, a multikulturalitással foglalkozni kell, a kérdés inkább az, hogy például egy felnőttképzési intézmény vagy egy munkahelyi közösség hogyan tudja aktívan és stratégiai céllal kezelni a sokszínűséget, milyen intézkedésekkel tud értékteremtő puzzle-ként beépülni a cég, a közösség identitásába.Jelenleg az Új Nemzeti Kiválóság Program 2017/2018. évi pályázata keretében a ”Semmit rólatok, nélkületek” Fogyatékossággal élő személyek iskolarendszeren kívüli felnőttképzéshez való egyenlő esélyű hozzáférésének vizsgálata” c. kutatásban vizsgálom a fogyatékossággal élő felnőttek iskolarendszeren kívüli felnőttképzéshez történő egyenlő esélyű hozzáférésének tapasztalatait.A tanulmányomban bemutatott kutatásaim hiánypótló jellegűek. A kutatások támpontokat, útmutatót kívánnak nyújtani ahhoz, hogy az iskolarendszeren kívüli felnőttképzési intézményrendszer hatékonyabban tudja segíteni a fogyatékossággal élő személyek munkaerő-piaci (re)integrációját, társadalmi inklúzióját. A bemutatott kutatások hozzájárulhatnak egy olyan inkluzív felnőttképzési rendszer létrejöttéhez, mely hatékonyabban tudja segíteni a fogyatékossággal élő személyek munkaerő-piaci elhelyezkedését és hozzájárul a fogyatékossággal élő felnőttek egyéni igényen alapuló szükségleteinek megismeréséhez, mely hosszútávon eredményesebbé teheti a foglalkozási rehabilitáció oktatási-képzési célú tevékenységrendszerét. AbstractI wanted to study but because of the difficulties around, I never dared to start Today, it is out of question that diversity and multi-culture must be dealt with; the question is how an adult education institution or a workplace community can manage diversity actively and with a strategic view, what are the measures to be taken in order to include diversity as a value creating piece of puzzle into the identity of a firm or a community.  I am examining the experiences in the equal access of disabled adults to the adult education possibilities outside the school system in a research titled ‘”Nothing about you without you” Survey of the equal access of disabled persons to the adult education possibilities outside the school system’ and implemented within the 2017/18 call of the New Generation National Excellence Program.My researches presented in this study are stop-gap researches. They strive to provide starting points or a guide so that the adult education institutional system existing outside the traditional school system be able to support the labour market (re)integration and the social inclusion of the disabled people more effectively. The researches presented may contribute to the evolution of an inclusive adult education system that can more effectively help disabled people enter the labour market and can conduce to the exploration of the personal needs of the disabled adults, which may make the educational-training activity system of employment rehabilitation more successful in the long run. ________________________________________________________________________

This article deals with inequality of access to higher education in Greece, and especially, the case of the Metropolitan Area of Athens. Specifically, I deal with a general overview of the debates about "selection" in the educational systems of Europe, with special reference to the case of Greece. It is argued here that in those levels of the educational "ladder" where the degree of specialisation and the need for individual selection is insignificant, inequalities exist, but are not profound. On the contrary, in the upper levels, and especially as the time to enter (or to be trained to enter) the labour market comes closer, students' success depends much more on externally assessed examination performance and, therefore, a more rigorous selection process emerges--a process that is decisively influenced by the labour- market requirements and limitations. Finally, an extended examination of the evolution of the Greek school-system and the changes in examination practices, and the relationship between the structure of the school system and the job-market, will be attempted.

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of teacher training sessions on listener perception of voice disorders. Three ASHA certified speech-language pathologists provided the criteria mean. Thirty randomly selected teachers from a Bergen County school system, randomly placed into two groups, served as subjects. The experimental group received three training sessions on consecutive weeks. Three weeks after the end of training, both groups were given a posttest. Listener perception scores were significantly higher for the experimental group. The implications of these results for in-service workshops, teacher/speech-language pathologist interaction and future research are discussed.

A statistical review provides analysis of four years of speech therapy services of a suburban school system which can be used for comparison with other school system programs. Included are data on the percentages of the school population enrolled in therapy, the categories of disabilities and the number of children in each category, the sex and grade-level distribution of those in therapy, and shifts in case-load selection. Factors affecting changes in case-load profiles are identified and discussed.

Twenty students between the ages of 6 and 19 years who were receiving services for students with hearing impairments in a metropolitan, inner-city school system were trained to monitor their own hearing aids. This study investigated the effect of this training on the percentage of students who wore functional hearing aids. Ten of the students received fewer than 3 hours of instruction per day in the regular education setting and generally had hearing losses in the severe to profound range. The remaining 10 students received greater than 3 hours of instruction per day in the regular education setting and had hearing losses in the moderate to severe range. The findings indicated improved hearing aid function when students were actively involved in hearing aid maintenance programs. Recommendations are made concerning hearing aid maintenance in the schools.

An increasingly large number of children receiving education in the United States public school system do not speak English as their first language. As educators adjust to the changing educational demographics, speech-language pathologists will be called on with increasing frequency to address concerns regarding language difference and language disorders. This paper illustrates the pre-referral assessment-to-intervention processes and products designed by one school team to meet the unique needs of English Language Learners (ELL).

This paper reviews research on young migrants in Germany. Particular attention is given to the question of how Germany’s history of migration, immigration policies, and public attitude toward migrants influence the transcultural adaptation of children and adolescents from different ethnic backgrounds. We combine past research with the results of new empirical studies in order to shed light on migrants’ psychological and sociocultural adaptation. Studies comparing young migrants and their German peers in terms of psychological well-being, life satisfaction, and mental health outcome suggest higher rates of emotional and behavioral problems among migrants of most age groups. With regard to adolescent populations between the ages of 14 and 17 years, however, the existence of differences between migrants and natives appears to be less clear. Research has also yielded inconsistent findings regarding the time trajectory of transcultural adaptation among adolescents. The coincidence of acculturation and age-related change is discussed as a possible source of these inconsistencies. Further, we provide an overview of risk and protective factors such as conflicting role expectations and ethnic discrimination, which may cause heightened vulnerability to adverse adaptation outcomes in some groups. Large-scale studies have repeatedly shown migrants of all age groups to be less successful within the German school system, indicating poor sociocultural adaptation. Possible explanations, such as the idiosyncrasies of the German school system, are presented. Our own studies contribute to the understanding of young migrants’ adaptation process by showing that it is their orientation to German culture, rather than the acculturation strategy of integration, that leads to the most positive psychological and sociocultural outcomes. The paper concludes by discussing implications for future cross-cultural research on young migrants and by suggesting recommendations for multicultural policies.
