Children with Special Needs: An Overview of Knowledge on Disability: SpringerBriefs in Social Work
Autor Ulrika Hallberg, Gunilla Klingbergen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2023
There can be a lack of understanding of the vulnerable situation of children with disabilities and their families, even among professional caregivers whose mission is to protect the health and wellbeing of these children. Their respectful treatment should include knowledge, empathy, humanity, and an open and sympathetic dialogue. This book provides an overview of knowledge and literature review of children and adolescents with special care needs that contribute to the respect and understanding of children with disabilities and their families. It also explains possible reasons for different outcomes in research studies and why there is a lack of knowledge in some areas concerning these children.
Research on children with disabilities is considerable but often can be difficult to access on many levels, which means it does not always benefit those who need this knowledge. This compact book addresses this by presenting the international research in the field in an understandable way for people who work with children with disabilities and their families. The authors provide a broad picture of the background, reality of life, opportunities for professional help and support, as well as outlook of these children and families. Among the topics covered:
- The Health and Well-being of Children with Disabilities
- The Health and Well-being of Relatives
- Occupation
- On the Road to Adulthood
Children with Special Needs: An Overview of Knowledge on Disability is pertinent reading for students in all areas of health care (including nursing and psychology), social work, sociology, and education aimed at children and young people. The text also would be of interest to those who practice in these areas and/or encounter children with disabilities in their daily work.

Gunilla Klingberg, DDS, PhD is professor in pediatric dentistry and adviser to the Vice-Chancellor at Malmö University, Sweden. She is also senior consultant and specialist in pediatric dentistry. In research, she has studied children with special needs, their dental and orofacial health and wellbeing, and how the children’s needs are met by the dental health service. She has studied dental fear and anxiety, dental pain, socially vulnerable children, and young people with disabilities and used both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Using qualitative methods, primarily grounded theory, Gunilla, together with other researchers in a series of studies, has investigated how people with different disabilities and their relatives perceive oral health, need for dental care, and how they want to be cared for and treated by dental professionals. Special focus has been on people with rare diagnoses. To gain a broader understanding of oral health in people with disabilities, she has also investigated how healthcare and dental professionals perceive oral health and dental needs in patients with disabilities. Currently, studies using qualitative methods are carried out to study how children experience pain when they need to have teeth extracted, and how dental students and dentists understand and handle pain during dental treatment. Further studies aim to gain understanding about what children and adolescent and their parents or legal guardians experience as needs in dentistry and how they perceive oral health. Through studies of patient perspectives, the research group wants to create a basis for prioritizing both care and future research issues. Gunilla has previously published several scientific papers and textbooks.
