The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of trust in the institutions of socialization of children with disabilities. The role of such institutions of socialization of disabled children as family, education, healthcare, public organizations, and the media is analyzed. The analysis was based on the results of a sociological study conducted in May-June 2023 among family members raising disabled children (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Belgorod, Kursk). The study revealed significant differences in respondents' assessments of their trust in socialization institutions. It has been established that the media has become an outsider of trust. In the course of the analysis, the authors concluded that it is necessary to apply an integrated approach to the activities of institutions for the socialization of children with disabilities, which should be based on interdepartmental interaction «family - NGOs - authorities - healthcare, education - media - business». The proposed approach, according to the authors, ensures the effectiveness, targeting and transparency of activities.

Background And Objective: Personal wheelchair budgets (PWBs) are offered to everyone in England eligible for a wheelchair provided through the National Health Service (NHS) to support their choice of equipment. The WATCh (Wheelchair outcomes Assessment Tool for Children) and related WATCh-Ad for adults are patient-centred outcome measures (PCOMs) developed to help individual users express their main outcome needs when obtaining a wheelchair and rate their satisfaction with subsequent outcomes after receiving their equipment. Use was explored in a real-world setting, aiming to produce guidance for use alongside the PWB process.
