The Covid 19 pandemic has caused changes in the functioning of all people, including children with special needs and their families. Research shows that the changes experienced by individuals and families can result in mental health problems and dysfunctional adaptation to the stress caused by the coronavirus pandemic. For these reasons, the psychological support is important to help families cope with the challenges of the Covid 19 pandemic, to improve their mental health, and strengthen their individual and family resilience. Psychological support aims to help families adapt to the challenges they face and achieve a higher degree of functionality on a personal, partner, parent, family and social level.

Ineffective Schools

Families living in poverty often do not have a choice but to live in impoverished neighborhoods. Low-income neighborhoods are typically characterized by poor-quality housing; ineffective schools; and a higher prevalence of crimes, drugs, and violence. For low-income families with children with special needs, living in areas of concentrated poverty is especially challenging. Owing to the isolation of such neighborhoods, residents often do not have access to quality supportive services and developmental opportunities for children with special needs. This lack of support predetermines the health outcome of a vulnerable child.

Transnational Study

The volume “Building bridges: Promoting wellbeing for family. Handbook for parents ”, published by Lumen Publishing House from Iași in 2018, was developed within the project “Building bridges: Promoting social inclusion and well-being for the families of children with special needs (PSI-WELL)”, and is the result of a cross-sectional and transnational study on social inclusion, stress levels and the well-being of families with children with special needs, carried out in each of the 6 countries that were partners in the project (Romania, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Turkey and Lithuania). The volume coordinated by Assoc. Prof. PhD. Aurora Adina Colomeischi provides concrete results of the extensive research undertaken within the project and seems to be a viable starting point for the development of an educational policy for parents and families of children with special needs. The work is very well substantiated scientifically, and is especially useful for parents who face the special needs of their children, but also for the specialists who undergo therapy with them. In our opinion, the book deals with desirable aspects in the development of social intervention programs often aimed at parents with children with special needs, programs dealing with improving personal resources and parenting skills needed to solve various special and difficult situations presented by children.

It is not easy for mothers living in rural areas to raise children with special needs because various obstacles arise from both within and outside the family. This study aimed to explore various obstacles for mothers in raising children with special needs, especially in rural areas. The research design used in this study was descriptive qualitative. The sample in this study consisted of 55 mothers who were selected using purposive sampling method. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured face-to-face interviews and through focus group discussions. The data collected in this study was then analyzed using thematic analysis. There are 3 themes generated in this research including 1) family perception, 2) financials, and 3) access to health care services. Information obtained from this research can provide solutions for families to overcome or get out from the existing barriers and provide information to the government to provide health services to families with children with special needs in rural areas.

Families With Children

Often, parents of children with special needs choose not to venture anywhere. They frequently avoid travels since they are unaware of how to get the accommodations they need during the journey. On the other hand, companies that offer travel services, especially micro-companies, don’t know the needs of families with children with special needs.The research was carried out within the project " Eliminating Social Inclusion" EliSE Nr. 2019-1-LV01-KA204-060427. The principal objective of the EliSE project is supporting parents of children with behavioral disturbs realizing an educational parent-training module for “fair traveling” in European countries and an educational toolkit.Accordingly, the primary target group of this project is represented by social educators that will be trained on how to train parents of children with behavioral disturbs (parent-training).
