| description | This study investigates the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives
of individuals with special needs. In the research carried out with phenomenological
research design, data were obtained through an online questionnaire consisting of openended questions developed by researchers from 121 parents with children with special
needs, living in 14 different cities in Turkey. From the content analysis of the data, eight
themes were identified, namely, education, health, social life, behavioral-emotional
adaptation, physical condition, family communication, indoor activities and social supports
and needs. According to the findings, parents mostly stated that during the pandemic
process, (a) social lives of children with special needs were restricted, (b) their daily
routines were disturbed, (c) they could not benefit efficiently from distance learning, (d)
their behavioral problems such as tantrums and harming themselves and others (e.g.,
parents) were increased, (e) negative physical situations emerged, such as weight gain /
loss, sleep disorders, stress related problems in family communication. In addition, parents
indicated that they did indoor activities with their children and that they did not have
difficulties in accessing health services for their children. The majority of the parents stated
that they needed psychological counseling, distance education services, financial support.
Finally, parents expressed that they had received the greatest support from their family
members and teachers. |
