Purpose of the study. To establish the number of persons with special needs in Transcarpathian region and to define strategic approaches for their provision by social and medical services in modern conditions of society development. Materials and methods. The source for the study was data from the scientific literature on the research issue and state statistical reporting on the numbers of the disabled, the number of orphans and children deprived of parental care and the legislation of Ukraine on social protection of persons with special needs. The study covered the period from 2010 to 2019. During the study, the following methods have been used: biblical semantic, medical statistical, content analysis, structural logical analysis. The methodological basis of the study was a systematic approach. Results. T he a nalysis o f t he d ynamics o f the number of persons with special needs in Transcarpathian region for the period of 2010–2019 showed an increase in the number of persons with disabilities by 27% with the number of 75415 persons, 6826 children with disabilities and 2125 orphan children and children deprived of parental care. The results of the WHO Evaluation Mission show that the country's existing system of providing rehabilitation assistance, assessing the status of life-limiting, does not meet world requirements and that statistical information on disability cannot be compared with international data. At the same time, the recent legislation in Ukraine envisages the improvement of the system of social and medical assistance to persons with disabilities. It includes formation of a system of provision of services in accordance with the actual needs of the population with the maximum approximation of the service to the place of residence of the client with the maximum use of opportunities of the united territorial communities. Care and upbringing of children should be carried out in a family-friendly environment, providing conditions for living close to family conditions (food, clothing, footwear, hard and soft equipment, housekeeping, leisure activities, etc), developing and maintaining self-care skills, household skills necessary for the organization of independent life; education and development of individual abilities, assistance in obtaining educational, medical, rehabilitation and social services in appropriate institutions. Conclusion. In the region, as the number of people with disabilities increases, based on the legal framework, conditions are created to ensure free, equal and convenient access to a range of services in a safe, comfortable community for everyone. Keywords: persons with disabilities, children with disabilities, orphan children,children deprived of parental care, ways of provision.
