Cilj diplomskega dela je bil ugotoviti, kako vzgojiteljica in pomočnica prilagajata vzgojno-izobraževalno delo otroku s sladkorno boleznijo tipa 1. Pri tem želimo ugotoviti, katere prilagoditve deček s to boleznijo potrebuje v vzgojno-izobraževalni ustanovi. Diplomsko delo je razdeljeno na dva dela v teoretičnem delu sem se najprej osredotočila na otroke s posebnimi potrebami ter opredelila zakonsko podlago, s katero uresničujemo smernice in pravice otrok s posebnimi potrebami. Otrok s posebnimi potrebami, ki so vključeni v večinske vrtce, je v današnjem času veliko, vedno več pa je med njimi tudi dolgotrajno bolnih otrok, ki zbolijo za različnimi kroničnimi boleznimi, ena izmed njih je tudi sladkorna bolezen. V nadaljevanju teoretičnega dela sem opisala prilagoditve dolgotrajno bolnih otrok. Osredinila sem se tudi na to, kaj je sladkorna bolezen, katere tipe sladkorne bolezni poznamo, kako poteka zdravljenje sladkorne bolezni, kakšni so lahko zapleti in ukrepanje ob le-teh. Kot bodoča vzgojiteljica sem del posvetila tudi vlogi vzgojitelja in pomenu sodelovanja vzgojitelja in starša otrok s posebnimi potrebami. Opisala pa sem tudi prilagoditve, ki jih potrebuje otrok s sladkorno boleznijo v vrtcu in jih mora pri svojem vzgojno-izobraževalnem delu upoštevati vzgojitelj. V empiričnem delu sem s pomočjo kvalitativne raziskave in polstrukturiranih intervjujev vzgojiteljice, pomočnice ter spremljevalke otroka s sladkorno boleznijo tipa 1 ugotovila, da so na področju prilagajanja vzgojnega dela najpomembnejše prilagoditve pri izvajanju gibalnih dejavnosti, pri dnevni rutini predvsem pri hranjenju in da morajo biti vsi strokovni delavci dobro strokovno izobraženi o sladkorni bolezni in rokovanju s pripomočki katere otrok potrebuje zaradi narave svoje bolezni (inzulinska črpalka, merilec krvnega sladkorja). Ugotovitve diplomskega dela bodo vzgojiteljem omogočile vpogled v sladkorno bolezen, prilagoditve, ki jih tak otrok potrebuje v vrtcu, ter pomagale pri organizaciji in izvajanju dela v vzgojno-izobraževalni ustanovi. The diploma thesis aimed to get an insight into how the educator and the educational assistant adapt the educational work to the child with type 1 diabetes. We wanted to find out what adjustments the boy with this disease needs in the educational institution. Diploma work has two parts. In the theoretical part, I firstly focused on the children with special needs and defined the legal basis with which we implement the guidelines and rights of children with special needs. Nowadays, many children with special needs are attending conventional types of kindergartens. However, there are also more and more long-term sick children who suffer from various chronic diseases, one of which is diabetes. In the theoretical part, I described the adaptations of long-term sick children. I also focused on what diabetes is, what types of diabetes we know, how is treated, what are the possible complications, and which actions can we take. As a future educator, I dedicated one part of the diploma work to the role of the educator and the importance of cooperation between the educator and the parent of children with special needs. I also described the adjustments that a child with diabetes needs in kindergarten, which the educator must take into account in their educational work. The empirical part is based on qualitative research and semi-structured interviews with an educator, educational assistant and personal assistant of a child with type 1 diabetes. I found out that in adapting educational work, the most important adjustments are physical activity, daily routine and feeding. Child workers are well educated about diabetes and with the handling of devices that the child needs because of the nature of their disease (insulin pump and blood sugar meter). Findings provide educators with an insight into diabetes and into what type of adjustments such a child needs in kindergarten. They will also help in the organization and implementation of work in an educational institution.
