Abstract

The Covid-19 Pandemic period brought many changes and challenges for all society levels, including parents who have children with special needs. The challenges faced certainly can cause stress and pressure in themselves. However, gratitude will foster positive emotions that build optimism, even when we are facing stressful situations. This study aims to get an overview of parents' gratitude who have children with special needs during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative, involving 66 parents of children with special needs who are students of inclusion schools in Surabaya. Respondents in this study were selected purposively. The measuring instrument used is the gratitude scale compiled by Listiyandini et al. (2015). This study showed that 40% of respondents have a moderate level of gratitude and 20% have a high level of gratitude.
Keywords: children with special needs; gratitude; parents; pandemic.
