Contribution
Even today many teachers still consider creativity to be the privilege of gifted and talented children while children with difficulties in development are not perceived as the children with such potentials. There are methods for stimulating creativity in children with difficulties and/or reviving affinitiesor even endowmentand in this way at the same time increasecognitive, psychic, language-speech, tactile, visual, sensory and motor abilities. Particular importance of stimulating creativity is in the fact that students with difficulties develop positive attitudes towards themselves; the difficulty is not in the foreground any more, but on the contrary, child’s ability to be creative. In the SUVAG Polyclinic primary school the verbotonal method with its procedures in the process of rehabilitation of hearing and speech impaired children stimulates children to use all their sensorial potentials to buildas good communication as possible with their environment and to develop all their creative potentials, and in some children their giftedness. In this paper will be demonstrated the achievements of hearing and/or speech impaired students rehabilitated by use of the verbotonal method in their creative expression.
The aim of educational and rehabilitation verbotonal approach is to stimulate creativity in children with difficulties and to improve auditory skills, memory, spoken language, articulation and communication skills. The goal of the project was to put on stage the performance in which the students will show the achievements of this educational and rehabilitation programme.
