The realization of the communicative process is impossible without the support of a sign system, which in the healthy child is the natural language. At the same time, people with severe disabilities, because of the intensity of their communicative, psychological, mental or emotional problems, have a real need to use sign systems that have codes other than those of the native language. This article is dedicated to code systems that provide other communication options for children with hearing imairments and children with intense and complex combinations of disturbances in overall functioning. Ways are presented which replace the natural language with other sign systems that provide communication and development of cognitive processes in children with deep hearing and speech disorders – Sign language. Descriptive analysis of widely used communication systems (pictogramideographic system, bliss system), based on symbolic images, with different levels of abstraction: from iconic presentations of specific objects to relation images and modal predicates. All these systems reflect the main trends in the search and the construction of adequate means to replace the natural language in the particular conditions of the special education

Its essence is the construction of case studies and the development of case-technology. The purpose of the case-technology is through personal reflection to learn a certain knowledge and skill related to the discipline, and the research technology aims to empirically trace, analyze and explore the overall process of modeling, learning and learning. Research technology has its own scientific tools for diagnostics. Partial verification of the technology is done through an empirical study on the thematic areas of the subject “Contemporary Aspects of Civil Education”.

The gap between theory and practice has been recognized as a problem in the school education for a long time. Its gradual closure is possible exactly through the extracurricular activities. The picture of the not reading students in the “mass” Bulgarian schools is common and although it is a problematic topic, we have somehow accepted it as a norm and we have numbed our sensitivity towards the problem. And the argument is “We live in the age of technology.” What is more, we get annoyed every time when someone talks about the topic. The current paper aims to show how a student’s research on a few linguistic peculiarities of Tihonravov damascene was carried out, and what was the effect on the students in the high school through sharing of the results from the linguistic discoveries.

Digital games can address social problems, such as the integration of marginalized persons into the community at large. For example, six children in a thousand live with an ambulatory disability. Communities must learn to accept children in wheelchairs. This social rehabilitation is problematic. It requires that hostile social environments, particularly the classroom, become more supportive. Issue awareness among classmates without disabilities can be improved by education-based interventions but such interventions rarely change behaviour. Interactive personal contact between able children and disabled role models has been shown to be effective but it cannot be readily scaled. Digital games offer an appealing intervention vector, easily scalable and highly interactive. This pilot study investigates game design that may promote social esteem.
