This research was conducted offline at special need-child foundations and schools in Bogor City and Bogor Regency. Each respondent was interviewed based on questions from instruments used in this research.

Findings: A significant regression was found (F(8,86)= 4.09], p = <.001). The adjusted R2 was 0.208, indicating that family characteristics, social support, and family coping strategies explained approximately 20,8% of the variance in family resilience. Study results show positive significant effect of fathers’ education (β=0.168; p=0.092), social support (β=0.202; p=0.048), and coping strategies (β=0.275; p=0.010) on family resilience.
