R Program

Often, youth in the foster care system have traumatic experiences associated with abuse and separation from their biological family. These experiences may lead to emotional, psychological, and behavioral problems that challenge the new adoptive family dynamic. This article introduces the Respite and Recreation (R & R) program in a Midwestern area. R & R combines faculty, staff, and graduate students from a local University, local community resources, and staff from a local adoption agency to provide recreation, respite, and professional support services for children with special needs and their adoptive parents. The R & R program provides the adopted children with structured recreation programs for their growth, the parents with a break from stress, and volunteer students with opportunities to incorporate their academic learning into real life situations. Service learning programs such as the R & R also provide university faculty with excellent opportunities to conduct action research.

Providing health care for adopted children always has been a significant part of pediatric practice, and pediatricians have provided services in different areas of the adoption process for many years. Recent changes in adoption prompt a reevaluation of the pediatrician's role in managing the medical care of adopted children and their families. There has been a gradual shift from viewing adoption as a childless couple's opportunity to find an infant to focusing on the needs of the child first by placing children within families who can help them realize their fullest potential. Increasingly, adoption agencies work with older children and special needs children who have physical handicaps, emotional problems, or chronic medical illness. Private adoptions are often arranged outside of agencies, sometimes with open discussions between birth and adoptive parents. In addition, there are now more than 10 000 international adoptees entering this country each year. The pediatrician must be equipped to evaluate the special needs of all these children and to help their new families integrate them into the family unit. This statement addresses the initial medical evaluation of adoptive children who may have acute and long-term medical, psychological, and developmental problems because of their genetic, emotional, cultural, psychosocial, and/or medical backgrounds. Prior to adoption, or at the time of entry into the family, the pediatrician should begin a careful medical assessment of the child and should counsel the family appropriately regarding adoption issues. Pediatricians should be alert to the following potential problems:

AbstractThe behavioral pattern of children with special needs depends on their emotional and developmental disability. Any abnormal and incorrect pattern of behavior which is below the level of development as the expected norm can be considered as “the challenging behavior.” For supporting children with behavioral problems, many interventions and strategies alone, or in combination, are used. Behavioral and developmental problems, if not treated well, in childhood, may cause a problem and have negative long-term and short-term effects on a child’s personal life, education, family, and professional life. Detailed knowledge about the child’s behavior is important to define the problem. Hence, the software contains the questionnaire pattern, which is divided into categories like parents, teachers, doctors, and friends. Child behavior checklist is used to define the questionnaire. Images and video analysis are used to detect the current emotion in the child. By analyzing the behavioral pattern and current emotion, the teaching method will be suggested.

Danish School

Den åbne skole er del af skolereformen fra 2014 og indebærer, at skolerne skal åbne sig mod lokalsamfundet og samarbejde mere med det lokale forenings- og erhvervsliv. På baggrund af læsning af en række rapporter om den åbne skole diskuteres, hvorvidt den åbne skole kan forbindes meden dannelsestænkning fremfor en uddannelsestænkning. Endvidere argumenteres for, at arbejdet med den åbne skole med fordel kan ses i et bredt inklusionsperspektiv. Herunder bør man medtænke børn, der erfaringsmæssigt ofte oplever barrierer for deltagelse i skolen, herunder de børn der i forbindelse med reformen omtales som ”børn med ikke-boglig baggrund” og ”børn med særlige behov”.The open school is part of the Danish school reform from 2014 and implies that schools should be more open towards the local community and cooperate more with local associations and businesses. Drawing on a reading of reports on the open school it is discussed whether the open school may be related to a concept of Bildung rather than a concept of education. Furthermore, it is argued that working with the open school should be related to a broad concept of inclusion. In this process, one should consider children who often experience barriers to their participation in school, in particular those children, who in relation to the school reform are categorized as “children from a non-academic background” and “children with special needs”.

This research is a qualitative research,This research was conducted on August 2 to September 29, 2018 at Padang Perwari Special School, West Sumatra. The informants in this study were teachers who taught at the extraordinary Padang Perwari school which amounted to 5 people, with the object of research totaling 64 students with special needs. Data collection methods use observation, interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). Data analysis uses interactive analysis models through the stages of data reduction, data presentation and verification. The findings of the researcher indicate several behavioral problems which indicate that there is no personal character or social character in children with special needs (especially for mentally retarded children). The results of the study show the importance of applying the values of character education to children with special needs for the realization of a better national character.

Abstract International adoption has declined in recent years, although international adoption of children with special needs arises. We aim to describe our experience in international adoption of children with special needs and to analyze the concordance between the pathologies included in pre-adoption reports and the diagnosis made upon arrival. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study including internationally adopted children with special needs evaluated at the reference unit of La Paz University Hospital (Madrid) between 2016-2019. Epidemiological and clinical variables were collected from medical records, and pre-adoption reports were compared to established diagnoses following their evaluation and complementary tests. Fifty-seven children were included: 36.8% females, median of age: 27 months [IQR: 17-39], mostly coming from China (63.2%) and Vietnam (31.6%). The main pathologies described in the pre-adoption reports were hematological (22.6%) and neurological (24.6%). The initial diagnosis that motivated the international adoption via special needs was confirmed in 79.0% of the children. After evaluation, 17.5% were diagnosed with weight and growth delay and 27.4% with microcephaly, not previously reported. Infectious diseases were also prevalent (29.8%). Only 7% provided a complete immunization schedule. Conclusion: According to this series, the pre-adoption reports appear accurate, with a very low rate of new diagnosis. Pre-existing conditions were confirmed in over 75% of cases. Complete evaluation upon arrival, including infectious diseases screening and close follow-up, ideally by experienced multidisciplinary teams in specialized units, is recommended to provide comprehensive care.

To Receive

The law of inheritance is a law that regulates what should happen to the deceased person's property, in other words, it regulates the transfer of property left by the deceased to the heir. In principle, only rights and obligations in the field of property law can be inherited, and it does not include rights and obligations in the field of law that cannot be inherited, such as work agreements, employment relationships, individual membership, and authorizations. This research was conducted with the aim of describing the rights and obligations of an adopted child in inheriting property by the adopted parent and the position of the adopted child in inheriting property by the adopted parent. This research was conducted using empirical legal research methods. The results of this study indicated that adopted children in Bali are entitled to receive an inheritance from their adopted parents as well as their biological parents. This is known as ma’bubun dua ma’saruran patomali. Its meaning has two kiblat oase, that is to be able to be given an inheritance from adoptive parents as well as biological parents. On the other hand, the adopted child is obliged to maintain and establish family relationships as harmonious as possible, and carry out or replace the role or obligation of the adopted father/mother to the duties of the area where he lives (local community). In addition, the position of the adopted child in the inheritance of the property by the adopted parent is equal to or completely the same when compared to the biological child. Therefore, the adopted child is also entitled to inherit the inheritance of the adopted parent.
