This was the first non-state higher educational institution in Russia, where one could obtain the profession of “special psychologist”, as well as a number of other popular professions related to the provision of psychological, pedagogical, correctional and social assistance to people with various health problems.

Department of Psychology

Department of General and Special Psychology was created in 1996, in 1999 it became Department of Special Psychology, and then - Department of Psychology. Currently it is headed by Associate Professor Alexander Pavlovich Bizyuk.

At lectures, students study general and special psychological disciplines, in practical classes they gain skills in conducting correctional work, learn to consult and conduct psychological work with children and adolescent groups, as well as with adults. In special courses and workshops developed by teachers, students study specific issues of psychological work.

Classes are conducted not only in classrooms, but also in kindergartens, schools and boarding schools for children with various health problems, in orphanages, and in rehabilitation centers.

In addition to specialists for correctional institutions, psychologists are currently being trained to work with children at risk who have survived violence, natural disasters, catastrophes, terrorist attacks and emergency situations.

Department of General and Special Pedagogy

Department of General and Special Pedagogy was one of the first to appear at the Wallenberg Institute. Professor Valentina Aleksandrovna Feoktistova became the head of the department. Currently it is headed by Associate Professor Irina Anatolyevna Smirnova.

Story

The founders of the Institute were the Raoul Wallenberg International Children's Fund (USA, Sweden) and the Special Olympic Committee (Russia).

The purpose of creating the institute is to meet the needs of Russian residents for educational, medical, social, economic and general cultural services; assistance to families and children in realizing their rights to full development and education.

The Institute of Special Pedagogy and Psychology is the first non-state university in Russia specializing in training personnel for the system of special (correctional) education. The need for highly qualified personnel and scientific research in this area has especially increased due to fundamental changes in state policy to support children and adults with disabilities.

The creation of the Institute was also dictated by the urgent need for professional personnel capable of providing qualified psychological, pedagogical and medical-social assistance to people with a variety of psychological problems, the number of which in modern Russia, according to the World Health Organization, is more than 25%. The institute was the first in the country to begin training special psychologists. And today it is the undisputed leader in this area. Recently, the Institute has begun training psychologists working in the field of pediatric addiction, dealing with the prevention of various forms of addiction, with children at social risk, as well as with persons who have become victims of natural disasters, man-made disasters and violence.

Special psychology is one of the most developed branches of modern applied psychology. The main task of special psychology is to identify, correct and prevent various deviations in the mental development of a child. In this respect, it is related to child psychiatry, but it does not use medicinal, but only psychological methods of influencing a person. In turn, special, or correctional pedagogy, deals with the correction of the same deviations in mental development in children and adolescents using pedagogical methods in the process of training and education. In modern society, the demand for professionals in these industries is very high, which is associated with the numerical growth of persons with developmental disabilities and the lack of specialists capable of providing them with professional assistance.

The current level of training of professionals in the field of special psychology and pedagogy is achieved, among other things, by the high qualifications of the teaching staff working at the institute, among whom more than half are doctors of science and professors.
