The study included 420 children for whom all the data in the evaluation reports could be accessed. All data of the participants were collected and analyzed through the Hospital Information Management System (HIMS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean age at the time of health board admission was 7.41 years with 58.3% boys and 41.7% girls. When the level of special needs was analyzed, the highest rate of 47.1% was found to have Special Condition Requirement Needs (SCRN). The most common reason for application in both boys (68.6%) and girls (64%) was to benefit from Disability Rights. In terms of the distribution of disease areas, the highest rate was in the Cognitive Development Area with 36.2%, the second highest rate was in the Movement Development Area with 27.1%, and the lowest rates were in the Genitourinary System - Surgery Area with 0.2% and in the Hematology-Oncology Area with 0.2%. When the areas of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) were analyzed, it was determined that the highest rate was in the area of rehabilitation\/early support (intervention) requirement to support cognitive functions with 43.1%. When the special needs levels were analyzed according to the disease areas, the highest rate was found in 13 areas except for the Nephrology area and Genitourinary System-Surgery Area was SCRN. In Nephrology, the rates were equally shared between SCRN and Significant special needs (SSPD) at 50%, while the highest rate in the Genitourinary System-Surgery Field was Special needs (SEN) with 60.6%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our research emphasizes the crucial role of SNRC health board reports in tackling the pressing challenges faced by children and their families. Through harnessing these reports, we can make significant progress in identifying and supporting children with special needs, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. Our findings emphasize the influence of gender and the typical age of 7\u20138 years for initial evaluation. Looking ahead, it is vital to develop comprehensive strategies to raise community awareness and equip healthcare professionals with the necessary tools to optimize support systems. Through ongoing analysis and adaptation, these efforts hold the promise of fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for children with diverse needs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2024.1472553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,20]],"date-time":"2025-01-20T07:23:18Z","timestamp":1737357798000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Analyzing special needs reports for children: sociodemographic trends, diagnoses, and support areas over five years (2019\u20132024)"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Semih","family":"Canpolat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehmet Emin","family":"Parlak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esra","family":"Kurt Canpolat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erdogan","family":"Oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"148","DOI":"10.53446\/actamednicomedia.1134146","article-title":"\u00c7ocuklar i\u00e7in \u00f6zel gereksinim raporu (\u00e7\u00f6zger)\u2019na ba\u015fvuran olgular\u0131n psikiyatrik tan\u0131 ve \u00f6zel gereksinim d\u00fczeylerinin \u00f6nceki y\u00f6netmelikteki tan\u0131 ve \u00f6z\u00fcr oranlar\u0131 ile kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131r\u0131lmas\u0131: retrospektif \u00e7al\u0131\u015fma","volume":"6","author":"Temelt\u00fcrk","year":"2023","journal-title":"Acta Med Nicomedia. \u015eubat"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"144","DOI":"10.5222\/iksstd.2020.14632","article-title":"Evaluation of clinical characteristics and comorbidities of children applied for special need report and comparison of diagnosis and disability rates according to old and new regulations","volume":"12","author":"Y\u0131ld\u0131z","year":"2020","journal-title":"Istanbul Kanuni Sultan S\u00fcleyman Med J"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"136","DOI":"10.19161\/etd.1312122","article-title":"\u00c7ocuklar i\u00e7in \u00f6zel gereksinim raporunda g\u00f6z hastal\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131n rol\u00fc","volume":"63","author":"G\u00fcner","year":"2024","journal-title":"Ege T\u0131p Dergisi"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.5505\/kpd.2020.02438","article-title":"\u00c7ocuklar i\u00e7in \u00f6zel gereksinim raporuna ge\u00e7i\u015f sonras\u0131 bir y\u0131ll\u0131k sa\u011fl\u0131k kurulu verilerinin de\u011ferlendirilmesi","volume":"24","author":"G\u00fcller","year":"2021","journal-title":"Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi"},{"year":"","key":"B5","article-title":"Regulation on Special Needs Assessment for Children.
