Abstract :

The presence of child in  a family generally is  good news for the couple, but it  is  a different matter when  the  born  child  has  special  needs.  The  presence  of  child  with  special  need  in  a  family  could change many things in  the family. The result of the research showed that one or all family members experienced an adjustment  in  their  work, such as reducing  working hours, changing jobs,  or quit the job.  Various  adjustments  often  show  variety  of  disorders  and  stress  for  parents.  Parents'  stress experiences  are  also  related  to  the  big  responsibility  for  caring  and  rearing  the  child.  Parents' reactions to stress are various such as: cope the condition realistically , denial, self-pity , ambivalent, guilty , or establishing the pattern of dependency with the child. When facing a significant stressor , the  family  is  going  through  some  certain  processes  that  allow them  to  survive  and  adapt  so  that become  resilient  family.  This  paper  described  how  to  optimize  the  social  support  from  various  support groups  to  helps  the  family  who  has  children  with  special  needs.
