This study aimed to explore the obstacles and needs of parents of students with special needs in inclusive schools. This study used a qualitative approach. The data collection technique used was forum group discussion (FGD). Data analysis was carried out using an interactive analysis model consisting of data condensation, data presentation, and concluding/verification. Data analysis was carried out using ATLAS—ti software. The results showed that the obstacles faced by parents include physical barriers and non-physical obstacles. Non-physical obstacles include administrative obstacles, difficulty accessing information and funds, and lack of human resources. Physical obstacles include a lack of facilities or infrastructure that are affected by the conditions and needs of children. Parental needs consist of bodily needs and non-physical needs. Non-physical issues include the need for transparent sources of information, the need for sufficient human resources, the need for a forum for parents of special needs children, and the need for parenting workshops/seminars. Physical needs include media, learning resources, and worksheets adjusted to the child's abilities. This study is expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers and education practitioners in their efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable educational environment.
