Abstract

The publication reveals the topic of monitoring and evaluating the quality of social rehabilitation services for children with disabilities and key aspects related to approaches to ensuring the effectiveness of these services. The main focus is on the comprehensiveness of the assessment, which covers both quantitative and qualitative indicators, which allows taking into account the individual needs of each child and providing the appropriate level of support. The article also examines approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of providing rehabilitation services and their degree of compliance with international standards. The tools that can be used for quality monitoring are considered, including questionnaires, observations, the degree of achievement of individual rehabilitation goals, assessment of clinical indicators, quality of life and degree of satisfaction of the child and parents, which allows providing feedback and making the necessary adjustments in the process of providing social rehabilitation services. The importance of integrating an interdisciplinary approach to monitoring and evaluating the quality of services, which combines the efforts of specialists from various fields to achieve optimal results in the rehabilitation of children with disabilities, is emphasized. The article reveals the importance of involving families in the process of assessing the quality of services, as it contributes to a better understanding of the needs of children and their families, as well as increasing the level of trust and cooperation between families and social workers, thanks to which services become more targeted and effective. The publication emphasizes the feasibility of developing national quality standards, regular external audits in the process of monitoring and evaluating rehabilitation services, as well as the introduction of modern information technologies.
