Professional Orientation of Special Needs School Pupils: Psychological, Pedagogical and Social Aspects

摘要

The article talks about schoolchildren having visual impairments and facing difficulties of choosing a profession. The authors present a project of psychological and pedagogical support in the professional identity development of schoolchildren with visual impairments in the process of the project specific training. The project combines the humanistic, systemic and activity approaches. Based on the project, we designed a system of seminars for specialists accompanying academic training programs and elective courses for blind and visually impaired students. We also specified the stages and sequence of work contributing to the formation of a conscious professional self-definition of students with disabilities.
