According to the reports published in the paper Policy in education for the pupils in risk situations also for those with disabilities from Southeast Europe of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the number of children with special educational needs (SEN) is very large in the whole country. Children with SEN have requirements that mainly derive from the mental, physical, sensory, language, emotional and behavioural deficiencies or are associated with, regardless of their severity. The chosen theme is of real interest, given the complexity of the term "educational needs/special education" and the importance of acquiring/maintaining a correct posture of the body that can be affected by various temporary or permanent physical or psycho-sensory dysfunctions determining states of infirmity, disability, handicap or invalidity. In this paper, we focused our attention on the body posture of these children, more precisely on the existing spine deficiencies. The aim of the work is to create a database on the incidence of the spine deficiencies in children with SEN or with mental deficiency. We intend to verify if, in the conditions of preparation and application of a well-structured assessment protocol, the results on the incidence of the spine deficiencies in children with SEN/mental disabilities highlight a concrete reality on these issues. The results can provide a real database that can be used later for various purposes.
