Abstract

The study reveals the problems in studying the international experience of providing the necessary psychological assistance to children with special educational needs of preschool age in the conditions of war (emergencies), the perspective of analyzing the psychological aspects of the nature of fears, anxieties, experiences, and the consequences of traumatic experiences. Understanding the danger, and adapting to it is the main necessity of critical conditions for the provision of educational services to reduce the impact on the vulnerability of children, and to influence the development of individual adaptive skills, opportunities, and abilities in the conditions of the educational environment of local communities. The experiences of many war-affected children run counter to what most consider to be the basic needs of every child: continuous care by relatives (parents or guardians), shelter and food, safety; and educational development. The goal is to analyze international ideas of the multidimensional concept of the experience of danger, approaches, and practices of psychological assistance to children with special educational needs. Methods. Edmund Husserl's descriptive phenomenology, a complex (social-scientific, pragmatic, constructive, person-oriented) approach made it possible to apply mixed methods of information gathering and thematic analysis. The results. The UN, UNESCO, UNICEF, etc., professing the multidimensional concept of the experience of danger, have developed minimum standards for education in emergencies, the goals of which are: facilitating access to education for victims of emergencies. The minimum requirements are related to developing and applying models, approaches, and humanitarian programs of early childhood (development) to respond to and mimic the psychosocial problems and special educational needs of children and their families in times of crisis. The provision of the "Education for All" program motivates a comprehensive (sociological-scientific, pragmatic, constructive, personally oriented) approach regarding the features, tools for identifying dangers for children, and social-psychological ways of early childhood humanitarian programs (workshops, techniques, strategies, techniques, etc.). The analysis of the experience of using programs for preschoolers with special educational needs is an important informational resource source to draw the views of specialists of educational institutions and the capabilities of local communities to identify mental health problems, diagnose and improve the quality of providing the necessary psychological, educational services in meeting basic security needs.
