Abstract: Background: Students with disabilities face significant psychosocial challenges, including social isolation, bullying, and low self-esteem, which negatively impact their educational progress, academic performance, and emotional well-being. In Yem Zone, inclusive education policies exist but are poorly implemented due to inadequate training, resources, and collaboration among educators. This study seeks to address this gap by identifying challenges and proposing actionable solutions to improve support systems. Method: The study used a mixed-methods approach, combining structured surveys of 75 students with disabilities and semi-structured interviews with 12 educators and 9 stakeholders. Data collection focused on psychosocial challenges, their impact on academic performance, and barriers to support. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis to provide a detailed understanding of the issues. Results: The findings revealed that students with disabilities face critical psychosocial challenges, including social isolation (86.7%), bullying (48%), and low self-esteem (97.3%), all of which adversely affect academic performance. Barriers to effective support included a lack of training, insufficient resources, and poor communication among school personnel, with 100% of respondents highlighting these issues. Conclusion: The study highlights the urgent need for effective support systems to address the psychosocial and academic challenges of students with disabilities. Recommendations include training educators, allocating more resources, promoting collaboration among stakeholders, and conducting awareness campaigns to foster inclusive attitudes. Recruiting and training psychology professionals and exploring the use of technology for support are also critical. Future research should focus on long-term interventions and their impact.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) on the secondary cerebral cognitive insufficiency and behavioral insufficiency of severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) that is underwent to groups evaluated for with establish diagnosis of cognitive function therapy and damaging brain imaging. Methods A retrospective case-series study was conducted to analyze 87 patients with sTBI secondary cerebral cognitive insufficiency and behavioral insufficiency from January 2020 to January 2024, including 45 patients in the HBO treatment group and 42 patients in the control group. The baseline data of the two groups were comparable to compare the differences in GOS and FIM recovery between the two groups. Results The curative effect of the HBO treatment group was significantly better than that of the traditional treatment group, and there was a significant difference in medical statistics (P<0.05). Conclusion The significant therapeutic effect of HBO in the treatment of sTBI's brain cognitive insufficiency and behavioral disorder can be attributed to the improvement of the pathological morphology and structure of specific brain injury sites.
