Abstract

With the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental changes, reduced access to social life and services, and disruption of routines have a negative impact on children with special needs and their families. The health care needs of children with special needs, which have not been adequately met in the past, have gradually increased during the pandemic period. During the pandemic, the existing discrimination and social exclusion of children with special needs continued, and this situation caused serious problems by causing disruptions in their development as well as in their use of treatment and health services. Children with special needs are individuals who need to be evaluated and strategic initiatives planned to reduce the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this direction, it is necessary to increase the measures for children with special needs and their families.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemisi ile birlikte çevresel değişiklikler, sosyal yaşam ve hizmetlere erişimin azalması, rutinlerin bozulması özel gereksinimi olan çocuklar ve aileleri üzerinde olumsuz bir etkiye neden olmaktadır. Özel gereksinimi olan çocukların geçmişte de yeterince karşılanamamış sağlık bakım gereksinimleri pandemi döneminde giderek artmıştır. Pandemi sırasında özel gereksinimi olan çocukların hali hazırda var olan ayrımcılık, sosyal dışlanma ile karşı karşıya kalma durumu devam etmiş ve bu durum gelişimlerinin yanı sıra tedavi ve sağlık hizmetlerinden yararlanmalarında da aksaklıklara neden olarak ciddi sorunlara yol açmıştır. Özel gereksinimi olan çocuklar, COVID-19 pandemisine bağlı ortaya çıkan sınırlılıkların azaltılması için değerlendirilmesi ve stratejik girişimlerin planlanması gereken bireylerdir. Bu doğrultuda özel gereksinimi olan çocuklar ve ailelerine yönelik önlemlerin arttırılması gerekmektedir.
