Therefore, the role of parents in implementing interpersonal communication with mentally retarded children is very important.

The research methods used are descriptive and qualitative. Data sources for this study are primary and secondary data from field observations, informational interviews and research papers. Based on the results of research and discussions that have been conducted, it is concluded that interpersonal communication between parents and children with special needs in the educational profession has proven to be effective and well established. It is based on the specified category.
