В статье рассматриваются тенденции гуманизации в специальной педагогике и психологии, физической реабилитации детей с нарушениями развития. По мнению авторов, в силу социокультурных и исторических предпосылок в России тенденция гуманизации процесса их физической реабилитации только зарождается в исторической перспективе, но является неизбежной и будет развиваться. Цель исследования состояла в изучении этих тенденций для их последующей аппроксимации в процессе физической реабилитации детей с нарушениями развития. Актуальность рассматриваемой в статье проблемы обусловлена необходимостью учета во время проведения реабилитационных мероприятий неоднородного психоэмоционального состояния детей с нарушениями развития и широкого спектра последствий, включая психотравмы и физические увечья детей и травмирующие переживания родителей. Рассмотрение методик работы с детьми, имеющими нарушения в развитии, проходило через систему координат, которая базируется на философской антитезе целей и средств. Эта антитеза позволяет более структурно представить учет психоэмоционального состояния в процессе реабилитационных мероприятий и потенциальную пользу, что составляет научную новизну работы. The article deals with humanization trends in special pedagogy and psychology pertaining to the physical rehabilitation of children with developmental disabilities. The authors maintain that in Russia due to sociocultural and historical prerequisites, humanization trends pertaining to the physical rehabilitation of children with developmental disabilities are a recent phenomenon which will undoubtedly provide stimulus for new developments. The aim of the research is to investigate the humanization trends and their relation to the physical rehabilitation of children with developmental disorders. The relevance of the investigated issue is accounted for by the fact that during rehabilitation procedures it is necessary to take into account the emotional instability of disabled children resulting in psychological trauma and physical impairments in children and depression and anxiety in parents. The rehabilitation procedures for children with developmental disabilities should be viewed in relationship to the means and the end goals. Relying on the antithetical principle of means and ends, one can better monitor disabled children’s emotional state, promote their physical rehabilitation, which accounts for the novelty of the research.

Introduction: Children with developmental disorders are more prone for mental disorders and suicidality. Suicidality often indicates a psychiatric emergency and it is crucial to have an understanding for more effective and efficient inter-vention. However there is scant literature on the prevalence, risk factors and other characteristics associated with sui-cidality in this population all over the world and especially in India. Content: In this article we highlight the factors related to suicidality in 3 children with developmental disabilities who were admitted to a tertiary care inpatient psychi-atric facility (NIMHANS). Discussion; All three children had multiple psychiatric diagnoses and greater psychosocial adversities. Conclusion: there is a need for reliable screening instruments and routine screening and clinician awareness on this aspect of caring for children with DD.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between posttraumatic growth (PTG), resilience, positive coping style, and self-efficacy among the primary caregivers of children with developmental disorders in Chongqing, China. A total of 198 primary caregivers (parents and grandparents) aged from 22 to 66 years old (M = 35.55, SD = 9.16), including 155 females (78.3%) and 43 males (21.7%), were enrolled. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, and General Self-Efficacy Scale were used for data collection. The results found that PTG could be positively predicted by resilience. Positive coping style and self-efficacy mediated the relationship between resilience and PTG. The different levels of PTG were determined by the resident location, monthly income and education of the primary caregivers. The results suggest that it is critical to improve the mental health of the primary caregivers (parents and grandparents) of children with developmental disabilities. Our results also provide a scientific basis for future research.
