Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the growing number of children with special educational needs under martial law and the increasing impact of crisis factors on military families, which complicates the processes of children's social adaptation and necessitates systematic approaches to their support. The aim of the study is to develop and substantiate an integrated system of psychological support for military families aimed at enhancing the social adaptability of children with special educational needs. The methodological framework of the research is based on general scientific and specialized methods, including the analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, comparative analysis of statistical data, a systemic approach to studying the family environment, and a structural-functional analysis of psychological support mechanisms (assistance and support). The study assessed the dynamics of inclusive education development, analyzed the influence of socio-psychological factors within military families on the adaptive capacities of children with special educational needs, and summarized the existing institutional and community support resources. The research findings indicate a growing number of children with special educational needs alongside the expansion of the inclusive educational environment, while also revealing regional disparities in access to relevant services. It was determined that the combination of military-related factors, such as mobilization, family separation, chronic stress, and forced displacement, creates an increased burden on the family system, negatively affecting the emotional well-being and behavioral responses of children. The review of available support resources demonstrated their fragmented nature and insufficient focus on the specific needs of children with special educational needs. Based on these findings, a conceptual model of psychological support was developed. The model integrates family-psychological, child-adaptive, educational-inclusive, and socio-resource components and provides for phased implementation considering the individual characteristics of the child and the family's living conditions. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the proposed psychological support model in the activities of psychologists, educators, specialists of inclusive resource centers, and social service providers to enhance the effectiveness of support for military families and ensure the sustainable development of social adaptability among children with special educational needs under wartime conditions.
