Senzorno ovirani in osebe z ovirami na področju branja pri dostopanju do bralnega gradiva v specialni in splošnih knjižnicah v Sloveniji.

Access to the reading material for persons with visual impairments and print disability in special and public libraries in Slovenia.

This paper is an analytical upgrading of the research on the implementation of the infrastructure for visually disabled persons and people with other print disabilities. It was conducted for the needs of the Minka Skaberne Library for the blind and visually impaired persons. It deals with the importance of access to reading not only for persons with sensory impairment but also for print disabled persons. Furthermore, the research is focused on persons with sensory impairment, as well as on persons that would need adapted materials, but only have limited access to them: elderly, persons with neurological conditions, those with multiple sclerosis, dyslexia, Down syndrome, autistic spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, head injuries and persons with multiple diagnoses (physical, sensory, and intellectual). The research grounds on a social model of disability and focuses on architectural, economic and social barriers in access to reading. It aims to identify people's reading habits, their needs to have equal access to library resources and determines recommendations for changes from the special library users' and potential users' perspective. It stresses, that in Slovenia, it is urgent to implement the Marrakesh Treaty in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities not only in the special library for the blind but in public libraries, too. It implements the concept of print disability and the universal design and access for all persons with disabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Izvleček Članek je analitična nadgradnja raziskave o vzpostavljanju infrastrukture za zagotavljanje enakih možnosti dostopa do publikacij slepim, slabovidnim ter osebam z motnjami branja, ki je bila narejena za potrebe razvoja Knjižnice slepih in slabovidnih Minka Skaberne in pomeni nadaljevanje razmisleka o pomenu dostopa do branja ne samo za senzorno ovirane, temveč za vse osebe z ovirami na področju branja. Raziskava se je osredotočila na ljudi, ki bi potrebovali prilagojena gradiva, a imajo do njih omejen dostop: osebe z diagnozo slep in slaboviden, starejši, pri katerih je slab vid posledica starosti in bolezni, osebe z nevrološkimi boleznimi, motnjami in poškodbami, ki povzročajo ovire na področju branja, in osebe z večkratnimi diagnozami (fizične, senzorne in intelektualne ovire). Raziskava je temeljila na socialnem modelu ovire in se osredotočila na arhitekturne, ekonomske in socialne ovire na področju dostopa do branja. Ugotavljala je bralne navade, potrebe, ki jih imajo ljudje pri dostopanju do knjižnic, in povzela priporočila za spremembe s perspektive uporabnikov in potencialnih uporabnikov specialne in splošnih knjižnic. Implementacija Marakeške pogodbe v sozvočju s Konvencijo Združenih narodov o pravicah oseb z ovirami je v Sloveniji zelo pomembna, saj uvaja kategorijo »ovire na področju branja« in usmerja pozornost k univerzalnemu oblikovanju in univerzalnemu dostopu vseh ljudi z ovirami do knjižnic in bralnih vsebin.
