SOME FEATURES OF REVEALING THE NEEDS OF PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

The purpose of the article is to identify the needs of parents of children with SEN (special educational needs), as well as to contribute to ensuring the smooth process of their socialization, integration into the social environment. The objectives of the article are to identify the needs of parents of children with SEN, develop and conduct research to identify needs, and search for solutions to resolve the problem. The modernity lies in the fact that this important topic needs constant study and we are making an attempt to identify the needs of parents of children with SEN, the solution of which (we believe) will be very important both for increasing their self-esteem, developing parenting skills, and for the socialization and development of children, the correct organization of the educational process, and the effective organization of contact and communication. To conduct the research, we have analyzed, generalized, and systematized theoretical literature, as well as used the methods of observation, psychological interview, and questionnaires. As a result of the research conducted in the settlements of the Syunik region in Goris, Verishen, Akner, Hartashen, Inner Khndzoresk, we came to the conclusion that there is a need to create a structure within the framework of which parents will receive psychological, pedagogical, and social support to raise a child with SEN in the family and create development opportunities.
