Abstract:  Literature aimed at children which addresses the subject of disability reflects society’s vision of disability and people with disabilities and therefore it presents what society wants the child who is the future adult to have as a vision of disability. and as a view towards the people represented. This study aims to analyse the representation of children with special needs in children’s literature in order to identify the models that this literature transmits to young readers by questioning the links of these children with the people around them (families, relatives, friends…). The results show that the story studied by the Syrian writer Līnā Kīlānī conveys a positive image of the character with special needs and illustrates her difficulties in integrating into society by making this problem a concern of society and not of the family.
