Abstract

The article examines theoretical aspects of social support for children with disabilities, who constitute a special group of clients in the field of social services. The specifics of social support are investigated, taking into account the unique needs and challenges faced by these children and their families; it analyzes how social, economic and cultural factors affect the availability and quality of social services for children with disabilities. An important role is played by the analysis of the basic concepts and definitions of social support, in particular, its essence, functions and types. Social support is considered not only as a set of services, but as a complex process that includes emotional, informational and material assistance. It is determined how these elements contribute to ensuring the well-being of children with disabilities and their families, increasing their quality of life and reducing the level of stress associated with social isolation, financial difficulties and other challenges. Particular attention is paid to various forms of social assistance, which include psychological support, socio-medical rehabilitation, educational programs and financial assistance; effective models of social support are considered, which can be adapted to the individual needs of children with various types of disabilities. Methods and strategies used to improve the quality of life of children with disabilities are highlighted, as well as their impact on social integration, adaptation to learning and the development of personal skills. The importance of an interdisciplinary approach in working with children with disabilities is emphasized, emphasizing the need for close cooperation between social services, medical institutions, educational institutions and communities. The authors evaluated the methods and strategies used to improve the quality of life of children with disabilities, and also identified their impact on the social integration and development of the child's personality; the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in working with this category of clients is emphasized, emphasizing the need for cooperation between social services, medical institutions and educational institutions. The conclusions of the study can serve as the basis for further practical developments in the field of social support for children with disabilities, as well as contribute to the formation of effective assistance and integration programs that meet modern requirements and needs of society.
