<![CDATA[The implementation of inclusive education in elementary schools still faces various challenges, particularly regarding school readiness in providing curriculum, human resources, facilities and infrastructure, and building parental trust. Limited school readiness may influence parents’ social support for the implementation of inclusive education. This study aimed to examine the effect of school readiness on parents’ social support in implementing inclusive education policy in public elementary schools in Surabaya. This study used a quantitative approach with an associative design. The sample consisted of 143 parents whose children attended public elementary schools implementing inclusive education in Surabaya, selected using accidental sampling. The research instruments consisted of a school readiness scale covering curriculum, human resources, and facilities and infrastructure, and a parental social support scale covering emotional and instrumental support. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression with the assistance of JASP software. The results showed that school readiness had a positive and significant effect on parents’ social support, B = 0.315, β = 0.534, t = 7.506, p < 0.001. The R² value of 0.285 indicated that school readiness explained 28.5% of the variance in parents’ social support, while the remaining 71.5% was influenced by other factors outside the research model. This study concludes that the higher the level of school readiness, the higher the level of parents’ social support in implementing inclusive education. The implication of this study emphasizes the importance of strengthening school capacity, providing teacher training, developing inclusive facilities, and establishing effective communication with parents to support the successful implementation of inclusive education.
