摘要：This study was undertaken to determine whether rational emotive education (REE) could reduce academic burnout in children with special needs. REE is a psycho-educational approach that uses the principles of REBT to prevent or solve psychological problems. Thirty students were enrolled in this study, and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Students with blindness were selected purposefully for the study. The Elementary School Student Burnout Scale for Grades 6-8 (Aypay, 2011) was used to collect data. It was found that implementing the REE approach helped pupils with special educational needs manage their academic burnout to some degree. This study adds to the limited evidence on the benefits of rational emotive education on academic burnout reduction among special needs pupils.
