The importance of the issues and phenomena of the parenting social support system to special education is highlighted as it involves a group of children with special needs who require attention, cares differently than normal children in terms of their mental characteristics, emotional capacity, communication ability, behaviour, and emotion as well as physical characteristics. This question becomes an issue because family inability in the social support system of parenting poses problems and disciplines when the parenting support system becomes loose.
