Original Abstract

The functioning of disabled children living in an orphanage remains little discussed in the scietific literature. Analysis this subjekt can undoubtedly improve assistance and revalidation, as well as helping them become independent. This was the main reason for our interest in this research topic. The aim of this study was to try to answer the following question: do children with intellectual disabilities who live in an orphanage encounter an enviroment that is farouvable for their development or unfavourable compared to children living in their family home? three groups of children aged 12-13 years with light intellectual disability were examined (n=90). Contrary to assumptions, the home environment did not adversely affect the development of the examined children. There was a similar current level of development in all three zones among children with a light degree of intellectual disability living in orphanages and in family home. Therefore, the orphanage envirinment can be considered a positive developmental enviroment for these children.
