The Role of Positive Thinking in Improving Quality of Life for Families of Children with Special Needs

Concern for the quality of life of families of children with special needs has become a modern trend in the field of psychology and special education, as a high or low quality of life in a family has a positive or negative impact on the child, either transforming them into an effective and productive individual or a complex, negative, and weak-willed individual in the future. Convinced of the importance of positive thinking in improving quality of life, particularly for families of children with special needs, we decided to shed light on this topic with a scientific contribution, where we seek and aim to provide a clearer understanding of the concepts of quality of life and positive thinking, as well as to clarify the importance of the latter, which is considered the fundamental key to achieving positive mental health and improving quality of life for families in general, and families of children with special needs in particular.
