Abstract
This article examines strategies for providing parents of children in inclusive education with special opportunities. The study explores approaches such as providing parents with knowledge, psychological support, involvement in decision-making processes, and access to resources. Organizing workshops, training sessions, and online courses for parents enables them to understand their children’s individual needs and actively participate in the educational process. Psychological counseling and group training help reduce parental stress, strengthen their emotional resilience, and support children’s social adaptation. Involving parents as active members of multidisciplinary teams, particularly in developing individual learning plans and participating in decision-making, significantly contributes to children’s academic success. Access to libraries, educational materials, and online resources allows parents to effectively support their children at home.
