Summary/Abstract: The competences of educators in specialized institutions and how diverse their work is often talked about. Special educators-rehabilitators and speech therapists are trained to work with children who fall into the category of children with developmental disabilities. The challenges they face on a daily basis are diverse and require lifelong learning due to the nature of the difficulties with which children come to institutions. An aggravating circumstance for a child’s work and progress in the educational field is often the presence of undesirable forms of behavior. The challenges faced by educators-rehabilitators and speech therapists are huge, because in addition to the educational role, there is also the therapist’s role, which needs to respond to the child’s health, social, educational, and only then educational needs. In this work, we tried to show how they deal with the problems that arise if children exhibit undesirable forms of behavior. Our goal was to examine educators-rehabilitators and speech therapists who work in specialized institutions about what types of undesirable forms of behavior they encounter, how often, and whether the institution where they work has teams and protocols for creating strategies for mitigating and eliminating undesirable forms behavior. The results we have come to show us that it is necessary to form teams in institutions and create a protocol for collecting data on undesirable forms of behavior, which would result in the development of strategies to mitigate and eliminate behaviors that hinder the work and quality education of children with developmental disabilities.
