Objectives: To develop an in-depth understanding of the perceptions and experiences of senior dental students before and after fieldwork visits to a centre for children with special needs. Methods: A qualitative study utilised open-ended questions and involved 39 fifth-year dental students. A thematic analysis of the collected responses was undertaken, and a hierarchy of themes and subthemes were developed. Results: Analysis of the pre-visit responses revealed three main themes and a number of subthemes: ‘negative expectations’, ‘positive expectations’, and ‘pain expectations’. Similarly, four main themes with a number of subthemes emerged from the post-visit responses: ‘positive perceptions’, ‘negative perceptions’, ‘oral problems observed’, and ‘recommendations’. Conclusions: Within the study limits, different perspectives were extracted. Prior to the fieldwork visit, students expressed their lack of self-confidence and inadequate preparation. Following the situated learning visit experience, students’ perceptions of managing special needs children was positively influenced. Students were happy to be exposed to such an experience, but hoped for better organisation and specialised supervision in the future.

Children with Special Needs are children with disabilities in the development of life due to disruption (mental, intellectual, emotional, social, physical) in the social-social, career, and academic fields, so they need special services and are different from children in general. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to increase the self-acceptance of educators towards Children with Special Needs. This study uses an experimental approach to the design of one group pretest-posttest. The study was conducted on teachers who are members of the HIMPAUDI Sleman District, who were randomly selected and obtained as many as 27 teachers. Data analysis was performed using the T-Test technique. Based on the results of the study, it appears that the self-acceptance of educators towards Children with Special Needs before and after the training on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) increases, but the increase is less significant. Conclusion The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)  program is less effective in improving the self-acceptance of educators towards Children with Special Needs. Based on these results, it needs to be followed up with direct assistance or assistance in schools for educators who systematically help Children with Special Needs.

Teachers' Perceptions on What Inclusion NeedsA decade has passed since the equal right of all children to quality education regardless of their mental or physical abilities was declared by the Education Law (Izglītības likums, 1998). During that interlude, the Latvian educational system went through a period of tremendous change from total segregation of children with special needs in special schools to so-called "correction" classes in general schools, then to the special classes in general schools and finally to inclusion of special needs children in regular classrooms. Thus, the idea of inclusive education has been developed and implemented in various forms, which causes people to have a different understanding of what inclusive education means and impedes children with special needs from learning together with their peers in general classrooms. This article reflects on the findings of a qualitative study that was designed and conducted to investigate different perceptions of pre-school and primary school teachers on the preconditions for inclusive education.

This study contributes to the growing body of research that seeks to destabilize dominant notions of literacy and disability. In particular, we explore teacher candidates’ understandings and constructions of literacy and children with “special needs”, or children identified as having a “learning disability”, before and after they complete their kindergarten-grade six teacher certification (B.Ed). We examine how dominant discourses of dis/ability present themselves in these teacher candidates’ initial and subsequent understandings, and how courses and a tutoring practicum can and cannot work to open up new ideas about literacy and dis/ability. Our intention is to add to the discussions of literacy education and curriculum informed by sociocultural and critical disability theory. This study highlights the connections between literacy and dis/ability as they intersect and are inextricably intertwined throughout the discourses and tensions seen in the data.

Abstract The understanding of the basic principles of inclusive education motivates the inclusion of children with special needs in general education schools. The paper presents the process of implementing inclusive education in Latvia and the teachers' and parents' understanding of the role of communication in including children with special needs, communication strategies, basic qualities and their use in teachers' work with children with special needs. Teachers and parents were asked to answer a questionnaire to determine if: (1) parents and teachers understand the value of communication in developing social, emotional and cognitive development and the implementation of inclusive education for children with special needs and (2) teachers of general pre-schools are ready to communicate with special needs children with and their parents while implementation inclusive education. This research confirms that teachers lack communicative competencies working with children with special needs (especially with children with limited communication skills) and their parents.
