September 30th JSER Vol. 14, Issue 3-4, 2013 is released
Dear readers,
September 30th 2013 we released the newest issue of Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation Vol. 14, Issue 3-4, 2013.
One month before the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Institute of Special Education and
Rehabilitation the colleagues rapidly implement the last preparations. As it was already mentioned
in the previous edition, the International Conference will be held in the hotel Metropol in Ohrid
from 17th to 19th October, 2013. Presence of around 150 guests from the region is expected, as well
as the presence of invited lecturers from England. This is another good opportunity to invite You to
take part in the Conference and thus, to enrich Your knowledge with modern aspects of special
education and rehabilitation. A book of abstracts and a Book of papers are expected to be printed
after the Conference, which unfortunately will not be under our special edition, due to the
conceptual differences with most of the colleagues from the Institute.
Meanwhile, the magazine reinforces its scientometric parameters. For example, we have recently
received a value for universal impact factor (UIF 2012 = 1.0985), and the value for h5 index and h5
median for 2013 is 2. It is my obligation to point out that the universal impact factor does not refer
to the famous impact factor which is awarded by the Thompson Reuters Company.
What is new in this edition? It is encouraging to know that the number of new authors who publish
papers for the first time in this magazine is increased. The authors Kitkanj and Georgieva talk about
behavioral disorders in adolescents with mild intellectual disability. In the first section, the authors
from Croatia introduce a topic about the parent’s satisfaction with the early measures of care of
children with intellectual disability. Reichenberg and Lovegren from Sweden write about the social
practice of reading and writing teaching in schools with students with intellectual disability. The
Italian authors, in the section psychological pedagogical review, introduce a provocative topic: What
do we know about ‘the attachment disorders”? Our colleagues Rajovic and Jovanovic elaborate the
barriers of inclusive education, giving a review of the attitudes of the Serbian teachers towards the
inclusive education in the past ten years. One more paper about the integration and inclusion in the
Israeli education system is given in the section dedicated to practitioners. In the last section, world
news, the authors analyze the Usher syndrome of the educational environment in India.
In the standard rubric News and information we encounter useful information about the tribune held
at the Faculty of Philosophy in Skopje on the occasion of the World Day of persons with Down
Syndrome, to mark the World Day of persons with Autism, as well as to give precise information for
the upcoming international conference which will be held in Ohrid. In this edition there is also a
paper of a defended master thesis on The quality of the relationship between siblings in families with
an autistic child and an abstract from a defended a doctoral dissertation on the Assessment of the
independence in performing everyday activities and the need for occupational therapy in persons
with multiplex sclerosis. As in previous editions, the regular rubrics: Bibliography, List of reviewers
and Author index are also present.
Participation in congresses and publication of scientific papers is an obligation and a duty of every
researcher.
Yours sincerely,
Editor-in-Chief
