CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Children with special needs demand particular attention and specialized needs that are not required of other children. This status may be declared in order to provide benefits and help for the child’s health and development. Special needs can also be legally given so that they can be cared for and trained in their communities. A unique mediational tax credit or deduction may be available to parents of special needs children to help offset the high costs and difficulties connected with child care and well-being. The term “Special Needs” is used to describe a wide range of ailments and disabilities, including chronic and fatal illnesses, physical disabilities, and psychiatric disorders. This situation raises the cost of attending and training special needs children, as well as giving the necessary help and medical care to improve their condition and improve their quality of life. The severity of a child’s health, such as those with a lifelong life-threatening ailment, may necessitate more costs and frequent medical attention throughout their lives. A special needs child may require various educational approaches that not only accommodate their problems but also try to provide opportunities for them to learn and develop further. The goal of the study is to determine the impact of parental stress on special needs children’s academic progress.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

However, parents must be aware that excessive levels of worry can have a harmful influence on children, leading to sadness or feelings of isolation, as well as affecting their academic performance.
