| Description | Main aim of the survey was to determine the approach of teachers to the development of visual and auditory perception of pupils with mild intellectual disabilities at the mainstream school in the Czech Republic. On the basis of the main aim, partial aims were set to determine to what extent teachers are aware of the importance of developing visual and auditory perception of pupils with mild intellectual disabilities, by what means teachers develop visual and auditory perception of pupils with mild intellectual disabilities and how teachers use pupils’ home preparation to develop visual and auditory perception. To achieve the aims of the survey the qualitative method with the technique of semi-structured interview was used. The survey has shown that educators are aware of the importance of developing perceptual-motor functions of pupils with mild intellectual disabilities, but the level of training in working with pupils with mild intellectual disabilities in mainstream primary schools is low. Educators should receive more expert advice on the development of perceptual-motor functions, especially from the staff of counseling centers |
