Review of International Studies on Multiple Disabilities

Abstract

The aim of this study is to review the international studies of multiple disabilities carried out and to give a point of view to new studies through evaluating the studies via an analysis of literature between 2010 and 2020 years. With that aim, scientific studies published over the last ten years in the world about children, their families, services and practices provided for them about multiple disabilities were reviewed. The criterion for determining the international articles examined was that they were published in refereed journals. The review was carried out at electronic databases. During reviewing, the databases of ERIC, EBSCO, Topic Search and Primary Search and international scientific journals were reviewed using the key words, special education, multiple disabilities, multiple impairments, severe and multiple disabilities between the years 2010-2020. Also, online indices were reached through the journals published in the related faculties of universities. 96 articles of the studies made in the world between 2010-2020 were examined. The articles reached were examined in terms of aim, participants, methods, limitations, findings, and suggestions, and they were explained detailedly in the findings part. It is hoped that the researches examined in this study will serve as a model for future studies about multiple inabilities and increase the scientific interest.
