“…The Turkish government provides support for education to families with a child with developmental delay (Ozaydin & Gallagher, 2012). Based on our findings, it is advised that parents are supported in terms of social determinants of health and also would be better supported with cash transfers for the health and education of their children.…”

Background: The study aims to investigate the social, emotional, and behavioral challenges in children with a specific learning disability (SLD) and to identify the factors that accompany these problems by screening with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Methods:The descriptive study was conducted on 278 children with SLD. Strengths and difficulties in children were evaluated by the SDQ applied to their mothers. The percentage of cases above the cut-off limits of the SDQ was calculated. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used for analysis. Results:The mean (SD) total SDQ score was 15.8 (6.5). The percentage of scores of abnormal total difficulties in SLD was 47.8%. Multivariate analysis revealed that cases exposed to antenatal smoking had higher odds ratio of abnormal emotional symptoms and abnormal total difficulties; cases with poor familial income and the presence of a history of antenatal smoking exposure showed considerably higher odds ratio of conduct problems; cases with younger age at the diagnosis of SLD, dyscalculia, extreme duration of preschool screen time (≥4 h), and history of hospitalization had significantly higher odds ratio for hyperactivity-inattention problems; and cases having shorter breastfeeding duration had higher odds ratio of peer problems compared to counterparts. Conclusion:Children with SLD have a high score on the SDQ. Practitioners could especially give guidance and support to families with financial problems and those having a child with an early age at diagnosis, exposure to antenatal smoking, short breastfeeding period, early age of the first screen use, and long screen exposure duration during the preschool period.

“…Nevertheless, based on the focus of special education services on the disabilities of children with special needs, families fall outside of these services in Turkey. This situation relates to the lack of full participation of the family in special education services within the Turkish education system (Ertem, 2017;Özaydın & Gallagher, 2012) also mentioned in Japanese culture (Ueda et al, 2013). As with all disadvantaged groups in Turkey, social welfare services and social assistance create a degree of trust and prosperity for children with special needs and their families.…”

“…Within a familycentered approach in the delivery of services to families in Turkey, the added needs of children and adults with disabilities have been the basis for legal regulations and development planning related to health, education, and social benefits (disability pension, the same and cash assistance) (Decree Law No. 573; Özaydın & Gallagher, 2012). In Turkey, all public and private special education services are under the responsibility of the Ministry of National Education.…”

“…Special education services are provided also to children between the ages of 0-3 with special needs and developmental disabilities by Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers. Children with special needs between the ages of 0-3 in Turkey are provided special education services eventhough not enforced and these services do not focuse on their families (Ertem, 2005;Özaydın & Gallagher, 2012). The adoption of an approach based on inadequacies in the national education system that focuses on the individual leads to the provision of services for children, however, leaves families one step behind their children.…”

The universal experience of parents with a child with disabilities are added responsibilities and needs in supporting the child’s development. This study assessed the nature and extent of needs identified by parents of children with disabilities in Turkey using a Turkish translation of the Family Needs Survey (Bailey, Blasco & Simeonsson, 1992). The survey of 35 items and two open-ended questions was translated to reflect Turkish culture and linguistic equivalency. The psychometric properties of the Family Needs Survey were examined by administering it to 377 mothers and 297 fathers of children with disabilities, served in special education schools or rehabilitation centres. Factor analysis of data for mothers and fathers yielded a six-factor model explaining 56% and 61% of the variance, respectively. Alpha values for the factors of the survey ranged from .63 to .90 for the mother data set, and .80 to .91 for the father data set. Analyses of endorsed needs in the Family Needs Survey revealed an overall similar profile for both parents, with greater needs expressed for the factors of obtaining information, family and social support and community services than for factors pertaining to financial topics, explaining to others and child care. Mothers and fathers identified 35 additional needs reflecting themes of personal and societal concern related to parenting a child with disabilities in Turkey.

_Using an online questionnaire, this study investigated the Early intervention services as perceived by Parents of children with autism in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Two hundred and ninety-seven parents completed the online questionnaire, 194 from Saudi and 103 from Egypt. The results showed that there is a low level of parents Perception for early intervention services and a lack of early intervention services provided to children with autism in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and that there is an urgent need for more of these services. Research has shown that the time between birth and age 36 months is a critical developmental period in a child's life. These months offer a window of opportunity that will not be available later. Early intervention programs minimize and in some cases prevent delays in development of infants and toddlers with disabilities. They can decrease the need for special education and related services when a child enters school, and increase independence. Children whose special needs are identified and addressed during these crucial early years have a greater chance of reaching their full potential. In this sample of parents, we found low levels of perceptions of early intervention services for children with Autism in Saudi and Egypt. The findings of the present study also indicate that Saudi and Egyptian parents don't know the importance of early intervention for their children with Autism..
