About

The Country Reports formed the essential needs assessment for the project Towards Inclusive Practices and Positive Behavior Support in Education and Social Work. Their aim was to document and analyze the current state of inclusive practices across the V4 countries, Ukraine, and North Macedonia.

The reports provided key information for the development of the project’s curriculum, focusing on three main areas:

1. The current status of inclusive legislation
2. Education and training of specialists in special education, psychology, and social work
3. The development and current state of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in partner countries

Drawing on insights from structured interviews with 20 professionals, the reports identified significant gaps in ABA knowledge and limited access to related training. These findings directly informed the creation of the nine-module V+ Curriculum.

To ensure broad accessibility and impact, all educational materials developed within the project—including video lectures, presentations, and guided notes—were translated into the languages of all partner countries. The resources are available in English (ENG), Czech (CZE), Slovak (SVK), Polish (POL), Ukrainian (UKR) and Albanian (ALB).

About

This project developed a curriculum that enriches university courses in V4 countries by integrating Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles to support inclusive education. The curriculum covers nine key topics delivered through 19 presentations, each supported by guided notes and quizzes for structured learning and self-assessment.

The content includes core ABA concepts, skill-building strategies, behavior assessment and intervention, ethical considerations, and models of disability. It also presents examples of inclusive practices from partner countries and will serve as the foundation for future e-learning materials aimed at improving training in education and social work.

By combining theory with practical applications, the curriculum strengthens the competencies of future professionals in creating effective and inclusive learning environments.

As part of this work, a Curriculum Guidebook was also prepared to provide instructions for implementation and to serve as a roadmap for using the course materials.

About

The comprehensive e-learning program, available in three language versions (English, Ukrainian, and Albanian), is built around nine modules based on the V+ Curriculum. It is designed to equip pre-service and in-service teachers, psychologists, social workers, and other helping professionals with essential ABA knowledge to promote positive behavior support and strengthen inclusive practices. The online course provides structured learning materials for each module, including:

• Video lectures and slide presentations.
• Guided notes (handouts) for learners.
• Supplementary study materials.
• Quizzes to support progress monitoring and understanding.

This e-learning program offers accessible, flexible, and practice-oriented training aimed at improving professional competence in inclusive education across partner countries.

The 5-day training event was held in Brno, Czech Republic, at Masaryk University from September 8–12, 2025. The core purpose of the training was to equip academic staff (trainers) from partner Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), including representatives from Ukraine and North Macedonia, with advanced knowledge and practical strategies derived from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to promote inclusive education and positive behavior support. Hosting 19 trainees and 5 trainers, the session was organized into simultaneous Ukrainian-speaking and English-speaking tracks to ensure content accessibility and successfully supported the strengthening of international collaboration and the long-term dissemination of the V+ Curriculum across partner regions
