The aim: Diagnose the situation of a contemporary family with a child with a disability, to learn the conditions affecting the level of their involvement in the process of care, development support and rehabilitation of a child with disability. It is also an attempt to formulate directives for pedagogical practice regarding the organization of a more effective space for the subjective involvement of parents and effective support for development and rehabilitation of a child with disability. Method: The research was carried out by means of a survey method using interviews with parents of a child with a disability. Results and conclusions: Studies show that modern parents of children with disabilities are increasingly involved in the process of supporting their child’s development. However these are still not sufficient actions, not only on the part of parents, but sometimes also on the part of specialists.
