Abstract
Every parent unquestionably desires to have a child born physically and spiritually healthy. However, there are times when a child is born with physical or psychological limitations that occur during the early stages of development. This condition is commonly referred to as children with special needs. This study aims to examine the relationship between gratitude and life satisfaction among parents with special needs children. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach as its methodology. The study's participants are parents of children with special needs. The gratitude and life satisfaction scales were used as instruments in this study. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between gratitude and life satisfaction among parents of special needs children.
