Abstract
Aim. The aim of this paper is to discuss the specifics of nursing care for children with disabilities in the school environment, including identifying the challenges posed by their health, social, and educational integration.
Method. Care for a child with a disability is provided across three organizational levels of the healthcare system: primary care (delivered within primary healthcare), specialist care, and highly specialized care in outpatient and hospital settings. In the educational environment, care is provided in the health prevention office by a nurse, complemented by dental care services.
Conclusions. A child with a disability belongs to a particularly sensitive group of medical service recipients. Providing care to such a child in the educational environment demands high professional and ethical standards from the nurse. As a professional, the nurse is equipped to deliver services for students with disabilities, but their knowledge must be continuously updated to ensure individualized care that aligns with current standards.
