The aim of this research is to highlight the health and wellness promotion programs that address the daily lives of people with special educational needs. Health promotion is an approach used to improve the health and quality of life of every person. For many years now, a lot of countries globally have taken advantage of economic and social resources to provide health promoting services in various contexts such as school and community-based facilities. In this review, these frameworks are mentioned, by giving emphasis to health promotion in the community and the enhancement of independent living skills. For people with disabilities, health promotion and the independent living movement has started its activity in recent years, which was a reason chosen to focus on these people, as the literature is limited but the needs in this field vary. The aim of the project is to explore the needs of young people and adults with neurodevelopmental disorders and following a holistic approach, to propose solutions with the various health promotion programs, which may enhance life skills and promote the health, independence and quality of life of people with disabilities.
