Abstract: This action research explores the demographic traits, difficulties, and engagement in the community of parents/guardians of children with special needs (CSN) using data from surveys. An important finding from the survey is that the predominant demographic of parents/guardians is women, between the ages of 31 and 35, and they typically have two children. Obtaining health services and meeting educational needs are significant issues, with a considerable number of people facing difficulties in accessing necessary services. Therefore, it is recommended that the project prioritize the provision of customized assistance and resources that specifically address the distinct requirements and difficulties encountered by moms of children with special needs.
