The research that formed the basis of the article is based on the principles of systematicity: ensuring comprehensive support in the fields of education, rehabilitation and social integration of children with special educational needs; creating conditions for the development of emotional stability during military conflicts. The logic of the study ensured the integrity of scientific research. In order to study the psycho-emotional state of children with special needs, both general scientific methods of comparison, classification, and diagnostic techniques were used.

Conclusions. Considering the results of the conducted study, working with the emotional sphere of children with special educational needs is a key component of their psychological and pedagogical support. It is important to provide children with opportunities to recognize, express and regulate their emotions, which will contribute to their emotional development and harmonious socialization.

An important element is supporting positive interaction among children. Parental involvement in the correctional and developmental process increases the effectiveness of work with the child. Providing recommendations and training for parents allows to create an atmosphere of support and understanding at home, which is especially important for children who experience the consequences of stressful or traumatic events.

The results of the study confirmed that a comprehensive approach that combines emotional, social and educational support has a positive effect on the psycho-emotional development of children with special educational needs. At the same time, there is a need for further development of didactic materials for working with children and organizing systematic training for parents and teachers. The implementation of these measures will form the basis for ensuring the harmonious development of children under the challenges caused by military actions.
