Health And Well Being

The intent of this statement is to substantiate the existence of homelessness in virtually every community, illustrate the pervasive health and psychosocial problems facing the growing population of children who are homeless, and encourage practitioners to include homeless children in their health care delivery practices, social services, and advocacy efforts. The recommendations will guide practitioners in taking actions to diminish the severe negative impact that living in temporary shelters has on the health and well-being of developing children. In this statement the American Academy of Pediatrics reaffirms its stance that homeless children need permanent dwellings in order to thrive.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline the experiences of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families during the coronavirus pandemic. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on research gathered and collated by three different organisations working with families of children and young people with SEND. Findings There were a number of common findings across all three surveys. In particular: the rapid collapse of external support for children and families; the reduction/withdrawal of support exacerbated the stress and exhaustion already experienced by many families; it proved very difficult to establish home learning and get adequate support from schools; there was little government recognition of families’ vulnerability and need for support; and, paradoxically, a significant minority of children and families reported increased well-being. Originality/value Findings carry clear implications both for the provision of child and family support during any further lockdowns and, more generally, in respect of government policy and funding of family support.

Also, designated staff and resources, because of the potential conflict with generic services.

he article aims at investigation of approaches towards the scientific definition of notion “children with special needs”. The semantic analysis of scientific notions of “needs”, “special educational needs”, have revealed the essence and content of approaches of researchers to the interpretation of the notion “children with special educational needs”; information about inclusion and inclusive approach in the context of socialization has been systemized. It has been proved, that the notion “people with special educational needs” can be applied to those children, who need extra additional recourses in the process of being educated. This notion includes a great variety of children (gifted children, children with mental and physical disabilities, physically challenged children, homeless children, orphans).
