Özet

Meeting the needs of families of individuals with disabilities is definitely important. The planning of the necessary services for identifying and meeting family needs or coordinating the existing services for meeting these needs will both contribute to the development of children with disabilities and provide fort he the effective use of resources. This study aims to revaluate the validity and reliability of the Family Needs Survey under changing conditions, which was originally adapted for Turkish by Sucuoglu (1995). The Survey was administered to families whose children with disabilities received education from Educational Practice Schools. While the validity of FNS was assessed with exploratory factor analysis, the reliability was tested via the test-retest method and internal consistency coefficient. Results showed that the survey could be used as a valid and reliable measure for family needs under 29 items.
