Federal funding obtained for research of special needs socialization

February 22nd, 2019 Galina Khasanova, Yury Nurmeev

The Institute of Psychology and Education won four 2019 season grants from Russian Foundation for Basic Research.

One of the winners is Dr. Anna Akhmetzyanova's project "Prognosis as a resource of socialization of children with disabilities: structural-functional model."

She comments, "RFBR has already supported our research. In 2018, we completed our three-year inquiry into prognostic competences of junior schoolchildren with disabilities with regards to deviancy prevention. The second stage of that research is this grant, and it will also be funded for three years."

This time, the focus is on preschool kids. "We plan to evaluate the quality of teaching in educational establishments which deal with special needs children and study their conditions for social adaptation and socialization of preschoolers," Akhmetzyanova adds.

KFU employees and their colleagues from a number of other institutions have started working on a database of diagnostics and correction technologies for autistic spectrum children. One of the centers for research will be located at the planned KFU kindergarten.

First results will be presented during the 16^th European Congress of Psychology.
