Achondroplasia is the most common form of congenital skeletal dysplasia, which has its own specific characteristics.

Šárka Honová

Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(2):55-65 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2024.008

The aim is to open a professional discussion on the applicability of its methods, not only when working with students with problematic behavior. The method used was a monographic approach. Given that the practice of punk pedagogy is not yet theoretically anchored in relation to Czech special education, the presented text draws from foreign sources, including scientific articles, research reports, conference proceedings, but also web portals dealing with punk subculture and...
