Background and Aim: Child-parent relationships with sensitive and healthy communication, based on love and warmth, support social relationships in children, and help children develop physically, cognitively and socially. The aim of this study is to examination of normally developing child-mother-father relationships between 6-17 years of age with special needs. Methodology: Participants of this descriptive study consisted of a total of 532 mothers and fathers of 266 children between the ages of 6-17 with special needs and 266 normally developing children between the ages of 6 and 17. Personal information form and Child-Mother-Father Relationship Scale (RACS) were used to collect research data. In the analysis of the data, besides descriptive statistical methods, independent sample-T test, Anova and post-hoc analysis were used. Results and Conclusion: As a result of this study, it was observed that child-parent relationships with special needs were more negative than the normally developing child-parent relationship. It was determined that the age and education of the child with special needs, the age and education level of the mother, family structure and family income create significant differences in the relationships between children and parents (p<0.05). Nursing studies that determine the relationship of children with special needs with their parents and nursing support to parents contribute to the positive development of parent-child relationships.
