    Disasters are defi ned as natural events that cause negative eff ects on human life, and physical and emotional impact varies according to age groups. Post-disaster impact signifi - cantly aff ects vulnerable groups such as children with special needs and their families. Children with special needs are defi ned as children with defi ciencies in cognitive, motor, and social development and have diff erences in their growth and behavior depending on the degree of the defi ciency. Children with these diff erences need special education and health services to meet their physical needs. Especially in situations such as disasters where daily life activities are negatively aff ected, it is important to meet the basic physical needs of children with special needs. For this reason, it is necessary to identify families with children with special needs in the post-disaster period and to provide support to meet the child’s basic physical needs.
