Item type:Publication, Life of the persons with disabilities in the republic of n. Macedonia - challenges they face from birth to old age(State University of Tetovo, 2023)The theoretical framework for studying the life course of persons with disabilities through the prism of the social model is characterized by two basic approaches. On the one hand, we can conceptualize the life course in terms of individual biographies and unique life experiences. On the other hand, we can imagine the life course more generally, as a kind of generation system that functions on the macro level in societies, based on the common cultural rules and structural boundaries that define what a "normal life" should be. In this sense, the life course approach helps us understand how societies organize life transitions in an institutionalized or structured way. From the perspective of a social model, the value of this approach lies in the possibility of determining the existing challenges and barriers to determine the different impacts of disabling barriers and social meanings attributed to disability in different generational periods: childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. The main goal of this study was to determine the most frequent challenges and obstacles faced by persons with disabilities and their families in their everyday lives in the Republic of North Macedonia. The research is analytical, retrospective, and qualitative, correlating the situation in our country with countries around the world through the analysis of documentation: strategic and political documents, laws, scientific research, and project activities. Although efforts have been made in the Republic of North Macedonia for decades to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, the number of barriers they face from birth to old age is large in every domain. Collective work and cooperation among individuals are fundamental to the establishment of interpersonal relations and bonds, the creation and functioning of organizations, and the development of society. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The use of robotic rehabilitation in the treatment of motor impairments in children with cerebral palsy – a systematic review and meta-analysis(Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation, University of Tuzla,, 2024-12-29); ; Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder affecting motor function in children with cerebralpalsy and requires new rehabilitation perspective beyond traditional pediatric treatments.Robotic-assisted gait training and other assistive devices as methods of robotic rehabilitationbecame popular as a way to improve motor function in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy.This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of robotic rehabilitation on motor impairmentsin children with cerebral palsy, focusing on functional outcomes like gait, balance and grossmotor skills. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Web of Science databaseswere searched and research papers were included up to 2024. Studies with roboticinterventions for children with cerebral palsy were included using the PICOS criteria. Theprimary outcome was to evaluate the improvement in motor function by measuring grossmotor skills and gait parameters. Data analysis used effect size calculation, I² statistic forheterogeneity, Egger test and funnel plot analysis for publication bias, as well as metaregression analysis. This review included 56 research papers. Robotic-assisted rehabilitationshowed improvements in motor skills, walking speed, balance and functional mobility withrobotic-assisted gait training being the most effective. Moderate heterogeneity was I²=52%and no publication bias was found through this review. Robotic rehabilitation with focus onrobotic-assisted gait training is showing improvements in motor function for children withcerebral palsy and has many advantages over traditional rehabilitation methods by allowingcontrolled repetitive training. Future research should focus on continuous outcomes andoptimization protocols to assure that robotic-assisted rehabilitation is relevant to the field ofpediatric neurorehabilitation. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Application of occupational therapy in children with disabilities(Akademija za humani razvoj, Beograd, Republika Srbija, 2024-11-28)Occupational therapy is a specific discipline within the broader spectrum of special education and rehabilitation services. Although there may be some overlap in populations served and therapeutic approaches, each, occupational therapy and special education and rehabilitation, play a crucial role in supporting individuals with disabilities to lead more fulfilling lives. Occupational therapy for children with disabilities is based on an understanding of the interaction between children, their activities and the environment, and therefore, when assessing abilities, the starting point is to see whether limitations are the result of external barriers and limitations or are primarily related to developmental ability and functional status. The growth of a child into an adult person involves continuous adaptation to the demands set by the environment and assimilation of opportunities, and this dynamic interaction is even more complex in children born with a risk factor or a certain type of disability. So occupational therapy can be a huge benefit for children with disabilities, as an effective way to help these kids perform meaningful activities and enrich their lives. This study employs a systematic literature review methodology to explore the application of occupational therapy (OT) in children with special needs. A systematic approach ensures a comprehensive and unbiased synthesis of existing literature to identify key themes, interventions, and effectiveness in pediatric occupational therapy. Occupational therapy (OT) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for children with special needs by enhancing their independence, functional abilities, and overall well-being. Through individualized interventions, OT helps children develop essential motor, cognitive, sensory and social skills, enabling them to participate in daily activities at home, school and in the community. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Macedonian Early Childhood Intervention: Challenges and Opportunities(Armenian State Pedagogical University after Khacatur Abovyan, 2025-09-29); Dukovska, ValentinaEarly childhood intervention is vital in supporting the development of children with disabilities or those at risk of developmental delays. Despite its well-known benefits, Macedonian Early Childhood Intervention services still encounter significant challenges. This study included 33 ECI professionals nationwide, who participated in six focus group discussions. The focus groups addressed the daily obstacles these professionals encounter - from screening procedures to parental involvement in Early childhood intervention services. Participants highlighted the lack of standardized Early childhood intervention protocols, the need for ongoing training, and greater financial support from the state. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Visual Impairment in School-Aged Children(2024); Tateshi, B.Purpose: Many eye disorders develop during childhood but are often not diagnosed early enough, which can negatively impact a child’s academic performance and lead to serious visionproblems later in life. This study aims to identify the primary causes of vision impairment in children and emphasize the importance of early intervention.Methodology: The study is retrospective and includes an analysis of data on children up to 12 yearsold who were examined at the University Clinic of Ophthalmology in Skopje in 2023. A total of 15,039 children were diagnosed with some form of eye condition during this period.Results: In 2023, strabismus was identified as the most common cause of visionimpairment among the examined children, accounting for 56.9% of cases (8,555 children), followed by refractive errors, which affected 41.6% (6,258 cases). A smaller number of children were diagnosed with infantile and juvenile cataract, representing 0.7% of cases (111 children), and congenital malformations of the lens of the eye, found in 0.5% (69 cases).Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of targeted screening programs to detect vision impairments early in childhood, as conditions like strabismus and refractive errors account for most cases. Although less common, conditions such as amblyopia and congenital cataracts also require attention due to their potential long-term impact on visual development if left untreated. Implementing timely interventions and improving access to eye care services are essential steps toward enhancing visual health outcomes for children and supporting their academic and social development. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
