Similarly, Bennett and Hay (2007) also found that healthy family relationship makes greater development of children's social skill.…”

“…Family is the main source of social support for children with special needs. In research conducted by Mangunsong and Wahyuni (2018), it was found that parental involvement has a significant relationship with the social skills of children with special needs. Also, Sutoyo and Hendriani (2018) in their research on children with hearing impairment found that 96.6% of the social skills of children with special needs are influenced by family support and self-concept.…”

Hal ini didukung oleh penelitian dari Mangunsong dan Wahyuni (2018) yang memberikan hasil bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara keterlibatan orangtua dengan keterampilan siswa berkebutuhan khusus, di mana semakin orangtua terlibat dalam proses pendidikan anaknya maka semakin tinggi pula keterampilan sosial yang dimiliki oleh anak (p < .01).…”
