Rehabilitation process involves a multidisciplinary approach focused on enhancing functional abilities and psychosocial status of children with developmental disabilities and individuals with disabilities. In this context, parents often play a key role in ensuring the success of rehabilitation. Parental influence can be extremely positive when it manifests through timely action, support, and motivation. Conversely, a lack of parental support, unrealistic expectations, and inadequate communication with professionals and the child can negatively impact the rehabilitation process. The key determinants of parental influence include emotional support, collaboration with professionals, socioeconomic factors, and family dynamics. The way parents respond to their child's needs is crucial for the development of the child's skills and the outcome of the rehabilitation process. Research indicates that quality parental support and active participation in the rehabilitation process improve the outcomes of rehabilitation for children with developmental disabilities. This paper examines the key aspects of parental influence on the rehabilitation process of children with developmental disabilities, highlighting the specificities and challenges of parenting in this context. It emphasizes that timely involvement and continuous parental support play a key role in ensuring the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The paper analyzes how the parental role can significantly impact the rehabilitation outcome, including emotional stress and the need for continuous education and counseling. Special attention is given to the early identification of difficulties, which enables early inclusion of the child in rehabilitation programs and reduces potential consequences. The importance of supporting the child's self-confidence and active collaboration with professionals is emphasized to provide consistent and quality support. The paper also shows that parenting children with disabilities brings additional challenges, including emotional, psychological, and organizational aspects. Through proper approach, open communication within the family and with professionals, and continuous education and support, parents can significantly improve the rehabilitation process and ensure the optimal development of their children. The role of parents in the rehabilitation process of children with developmental disabilities is undeniably crucial, as active parental involvement not only supports therapeutic goals but also empowers the child, enhancing their motivation and sense of security. Further research should focus on identifying risk factors that affect the success of rehabilitation and parental adjustment, and on developing support systems that best meet their emotional, economic, and social needs.
