This study delved into the challenges of the parents in dealing the behaviors of their children diagnosed with special needs. Using the case study as its main design, 10 parent-informants were interviewed using an open ended questioning technique. Data were analyzed and treated using Yin’s framework for qualitative data. Results of the findings revealed that among the challenges of the parents include handling situations when their children are experiencing tantrums, feeding, expenses in sending to school, providing instructional materials, discrimination, and bullying. Given this, it is thus important for parents to have foundational knowledge as regards handling their children during these challenging moments.
