The tools adopted for the study is semi structured interview guide for the parents of children with special needs. And the secondary data is collected from various e-resources, books, journals and magazines.From the study it has been found that some of the parents still have the attitude that children with special need does not need education as they think it is insignificant for them. They also mentioned that by admitting their child in the school, the parents have to be busy in teaching them and they do not have sufficient time as they all are wage labourers and farmers. But apart from those parents some of the parents have shown a positive interest towards educating their child and empowering them with sufficient skill and training along with education. Hence, it is seen that there is lack of sensitisation towards the importance and role of education in the life of children with special needs among the families in rural areas
