Self-belief (80%) is the most influential factor in parental acceptance. Meanwhile, society's negative views of children (30%) are the biggest inhibiting factor experienced by parents. Surrendering to God was chosen by 40% of parents as an effort to accept their child's condition. Most parents (85%) have experienced stigma regarding their child's special needs condition. As many as 80% of parents answered that the stigma was mostly obtained from people they did not know. In general, parents have high and realistic hopes for their child's future.
