Abstract

This article presents an approach to the development of a structural-logical model of indicators for monitoring and evaluating social rehabilitation services for children with disabilities and their families. The relevance of this research is driven by the need to provide the population with high-quality social rehabilitation services, which can be achieved through the implementation of an effective monitoring and evaluation system. The structural-logical model of indicators, as a component of such a system, enables the planning and evaluation of social rehabilitation services, taking into account the specific needs of children with disabilities and their families, thereby facilitating informed decision-making regarding its improvement. To develop this model, a desk study was conducted, which included a search and content analysis of publications in scientometric databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate, as well as the analysis, systematization, and synthesis of scientific approaches to defining areas, criteria, and indicators for monitoring and evaluating services for the specified target audience of service recipients.

The developed model combines results-based and participatory approaches, which allows not only for tracking the achievement of goals but also for ensuring the active involvement of stakeholders at all stages of the process. The key areas for evaluation include the physical condition, emotional well-being, social interactions, personal development, and protection of the rights of children with disabilities. Criteria such as relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact are employed to monitor short-term results and long-term outcomes of the services provided.

Further research should focus on the practical application of the proposed model in the activities of social rehabilitation service providers, the development of feedback mechanisms between service providers and recipients, which will allow for the adjustment of the model components and their adaptation to the local context.
