The article outlines the importance of interaction between teachers and parents in order to provide effective adaptation of a child with Down syndrome to the inclusive groups of a preschool education institution. Every year the number of children with genetic pathologies is increasing. Their adaptation in society is available through educational activities known as inclusive education. Among the common pathologies, occurring in newborns the most widespread is the one, known as “Down syndrome”. This pathology occurs with the frequency of one case per 500-800 newborn babies. The process of adaptation of a child with Down syndrome to the conditions of a preschool institution has three levels. This adaptation to the surrounding reality can be light (easy process of adaptation), middle (adaptation with some difficulties) and heavy (difficult). At each stage, the interaction between teachers and a child’s parents is very important. Cooperation of teachers and parents helps to find better educational forms and methods to be used, encourage children with Down syndrome to use and improve the skills and knowledge gained in educational institutions at home. Keywords: social adaptation, inclusive education, children with Down syndrome, preschool institution, teachers, parents, inclusive groups.

Structured Questionnaire

To make preschool inclusion successful and to have children gain the expected benefits, teachers need to be provided with functional teacher training programs that foster positive attitudes and provide them with a meaningful experience. The purpose of the study was to investigate the readiness of educators of preschool education institutions in Kyiv to work in inclusive classrooms. In the process of integration into the European community, Ukraine has focused on educational reforms, in particular, the creation of conditions for the introduction of inclusive education in educational institutions. The parameters of the research are taken into account, such as attitude to the idea of inclusion, possession of the necessary arsenal of pedagogical practices, understanding of barriers and ways to overcome them on the way to the organization of inclusive education. A structured questionnaire of preschool teachers attempts to reveal their attitudes towards inclusive education in general and to assess the conditions that promote or hinder the emergence of willingness and willingness to work in an inclusive group. The results of the study showed that a significant number of educators have a negative attitude to the idea of inclusion, believing that children should study in special groups or in special institutions (but not boarding schools). Educators name a number of barriers that prevent them from being positive about inclusive education, and underestimate their readiness for such work.

The article is devoted to the issues of improving the administrative and legal regulation of inclusive education in institutions of preschool education and secondary education instituions in Ukraine. Addressing this topic is certainly relevant due to the fact that, firstly, inclusive education is a new institution for Ukrainian society and a real challenge for children, teachers and the legislator. Secondly, in the science of domestic administrative law there is no comprehensive study of Ukrainian sources of law in the field of inclusive education, which would also fully identify the challenges of this field. Thirdly, administrative and legal acts in the field of inclusive education, unfortunately, do not correspond to reality, have gaps in both the field of law and in the field of pedagogy. The authors set themselves the following tasks: to analyze the sources of law governing relations arising in the field of inclusive education in Ukraine; highlight the current challenges of the inclusive education in Ukraine and make suggestions on ways to overcome them. The methodology of this article includes: the method of analysis and synthesis, the systemic and functional approach, the historical method, abstraction, the comparative method, explanations, research interviews, modeling and forecasting methods. So, the authors of the article translated and studied the legislation of the State of Israel as a progressive country in the field of inclusion. To achieve the main goal of the research it was also conducted a survey among the heads of educational institutions in the city of Odessa, where currently inclusive groups or classes are functioning. This has identified challenges such as gaps in the most legally established procedure for opening inclusive groups and classes; providing schools and kindergartens with assistants who should help educators /teachers and children with special educational needs; the question of the number of children with special educational needs in a group or class and the nature of nosologies. Having studied each of the challenges in detail, the authors proposed appropriate changes and additions to the current legislation, which are detailed in the comparative tables. The conclusions of the article can be used both in research work for the further development of Ukrainian administrative law and in national lawmaking by making appropriate changes to Ukrainian legislation and the adoption of relevant legal acts regulating important issues in the field of inclusive education.

Background. Preparation for school is the most important task of preschool education, and its solution can provide a high level of health, harmonious development of the child, and formation of a holistic personality. Our objective was to assess preparedness for systematic schooling of children attending kindergartens in rural areas of the Krasnodar Region. Materials and methods. The studies were conducted in 6 kindergartens attended by 179 preschool children aged 6–7, a year before school admissions and just before entering school. Results. We established that 37% of 6-year-old children were considered to be prepared for systematic schooling, while the rest were either conditionally ready (19%) or not ready at all (44%). In a year, the number of children ready for school increased to 69%, while the percentage of those who were conditionally ready or not ready dropped to 26% and 4.5%, respectively. The parents of those preschoolers who were not ready for school were given appropriate recommendations. Conclusion.

Abstract Background: Down syndrome (DS) is characterised by a series of immune dysregulations, of which interferon hyperreactivity is a key one as it is responsible for surging antiviral responses and probable initiation of an amplified cytokine storm. This biological condition is attributed to immune regulators encoded in chromosome 21. Moreover, DS is characterised by the coexistence of cardiovascular and respiratory anomalies as well as obesity, which constitutes a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 respiratory disease (COVID-19).Case presentation: Of the total number of children 55 admitted to paediatric wards in Bergamo in the period between February to May 2020 for COVID-19 infection, we present 2 children with DS and confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis that had a severe course. In addition, both cases had one or more comorbidities, being cardiovascular anomalies, obesity, and/or OSA.Conclusions: Our observations indicate the need to consider children with DS a population at a risk of severe COVID-19.
