<![CDATA[Social support is crucial for the development of children with disabilities. Children with disabilities often face challenges such as negative stigma, social interaction difficulties, and self-care challenges. This study aims to analyze the forms of social support and its impact on the development of children with disabilities through a literature review. The method used is a descriptive literature review, searching Google Scholar for the keywords "social support for children with disabilities" published between 2015-2025. A total of 15 relevant articles were analyzed to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. The results show four main forms of social support from families: emotional, instrumental, informational, and esteem. This support can enhance social functioning, self-confidence, and independence, as well as motivate them to achieve. Although the family is the primary source, the role of teachers is also significant in a school context. The implication is the need for family capacity-building programs and collaboration among families, schools, and communities to build a comprehensive support ecosystem for children with disabilities.]]>
