Gerçekten Erişilebilir Mi? Okul Erişilebilirliği Hakkında Nitel Bir Çalışma

Amaç: Serebral palsi (SP), merkezi sinir sisteminin ilerleyici olmayan bozulmasının sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan bir grup bozukluğu ifade eder. SP’li bireylerin katılımları çevresel farktörlerden etkilenebilmektedir. Bu nedenle, çalışmamızın amacı, SP'li bireyler için özel olarak evrensel tasarım kurallarına uygun olarak dizayn edilmiş okul ortamının SP'li bireylerin katılım düzeyini nasıl etkilediğini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, SP’li bireylerin öğrenim gördüğü bir Anadolu Lisesi'nde yapıldı. Okula katılımın analizini yapmak için öğrenci ve aile ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapıldı. Bireylerin kaba motor becerileri Kaba Fonksiyon Sınıflandırma Sistemi (GMFCS) ile; el becerileri El Becerileri Sınıflandırma Sistemi (MACS) ile; iletişim becerileri ise İletişim Becerileri Sınıflandırma Sistemi (CFCS) ile değerlendirildi. Nicel veriler SPSS 21 ile değerlendirilirken; nitel veriler MAXQDA ile analiz edildi. Sonuçlar: Çalışmaya 15-20 yaş arası (ortalama 16.9 ± 1.3 yaş) 28 SP'li birey (e: 16, k: 12) dahil edildi. Asansör ve tuvalet kullanımı sırasındaki katılım sorunları ve rekreasyon alanlarının mimari yerleşimi okul katılımını olumsuz etkileyen sorunlar olarak tespit edildi (p

Is It Really Accessible? A Qualitative Study About School Accessibility

Purpose: Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of disorders; occurring as a result of a non-progressive impairment of the developing central nervous system. Participation of individuals with CP could be influenced by environmental factors. Therefore, the aim of our study is to identify how universally designed school environment effects the participation level of the individuals with CP. Material and Methods: The study was done in a state school where individuals with CP are educated. Semi-structured interviews with the student and the family were done to identify the barriers for school participation. Gross motor skills of individuals with CP were evaluated by The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), hand functions were evaluated by Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and communication skills were evaluated by Communication Function Classification System (CFCS). Data were analyzed by SPSS 21 and semi-structured interviews were analyzed with MAXQDA. Results: 28 individuals with CP (m:16, f:12) between15-20 years (mean 16.9 ± 1.3 years) were included in the study. Participation problems during elevator and toilet use and architectural layout of recreational areas were indicated as causes of participation problems (p
