Emotional coping strategies in children with and without special educational needs during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia
TD children utilized a larger repertoire of coping strategies and had greater coping efficacy compared to peers with SEND early during the pandemic. These findings emphasize the need for targeted, community-level interventions to promote coping in children with SEND, particularly during pandemics and other public health crises.
