The presented results focus on selected intervention methods aimed at memory and attention development in students with specific learning disabilities. The research sample consisted of 30 pupils aged 9.1–10.0 years. This age range corresponds to the 3rd and 4th years of elementary school. The respondents were selected based on stratified sampling. The group was intentionally divided into experimental and control groups of 15 students each. The common denominator was the general diagnosis of moderately severe learning disability (according to ICD-10; specific developmental disorders of scholastic skills) for all pupils. We applied diagnostic tools focused on memory and attention to evaluate the effect of the intervention. These were mainly the Learning Memory Test, the Path Test and the Attention Concentration Test. The intervention in the form of individual therapy lasted from September 2021 to January 2022 and it took place 2 times per week for the duration of 30 minutes. The presented results point to a positive impact of the intervention in the experimental group.

The content of the article encompasses the results of a research survey of a patient with a history of ischemic stroke (hereinafter referred to as ICMP, according to ICD-10; I63 cerebral infarction and I69.3 – consequences of cerebral infarction). The aim of the research was to find out the effect of combination therapy using long-term special educational (speech therapy and music therapy), occupational therapy, and psy- chological interventions on the development of cognitive and fatal functions of patients after ICMP (cognitive rehabilitation). The paper deals with the possibilities of develop- ment and support of individuals after the disease with a possible correction of deficits from a multidisciplinary point of view. The person was selected by random, stratified selection and corresponded to relevant characteristics in advance (age over 45 years, acute ICMP, cognitive and fatal disorder, hospitalization). The selected person partici- pated in the research (female, 47 years old, acute ischemic stroke – March 12, 2021). For our needs, the therapy was focused on special educational care (speech therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, music therapy) and psychological intervention (psychic intervention and psychotherapy). A physiotherapist and an occupational therapist were present during hospitalization and post-hospitalization care. In the implemented research process, we point out the selected case study of the person, which corresponded to the relevant fea- tures, and the design of therapy with a focus on special education and psychology. The results of the research point to the fact that when working with patients with a history of ICMP, there is a need for regular multidisciplinary cooperation of an occupational therapist, a physiotherapist, a special educator (speech therapist, music therapist), and a psychologist. The given professions focus on specific areas of support with a focus on cognitive, fatal, and motor functions with the support of social adaptability.
