ABSTRACT
Parents who have children with special needs will experience more challenges when compared to parents who have normal children in general. The limitations that children have can cause parents to have low psychological well-being. Psychological well-being can be influenced by several things, including parental acceptance and family support. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of parental acceptance and family support on the psychological well-being of parents of children with special needs. The approach in this research is correlational quantitative. This study uses the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ), The MOS Social Support Survey, and Ryff's Scale which are distributed offline. A sampling of data using a purposive sampling technique with a total of 130 respondents was carried out. Based on the results of multiple linear regression analysis, it is known that parental acceptance and family support affect the psychological well-being of parents of children with special needs (p<0.05 and R2 = 0.594).
