The researcher conducted research which focused on quantitative data in order to achieve the research objectives. This research involved a quasi-experimental research methodology, in which the researchers collected quantitative data to infer the research findings. The Mann-Witney results of CBTCF showed that Pre-experimental and Pre-control CBTCF of the pre-distribution specifically mothers of children with cerebral palsy (U= 40.00, z=-5.730, p= 0.000, r= -0.576), experimental and control of the post-distribution (U= 28.30, z= -8.590, p= 0.000, r= -0.863), and the Post-experimental and Post-control (U= 19.50, z= -9.416, p= 0.000, r= -0.946). By looking at the results of all three questionnaire distributions, it became apparent that Parents of special needs children performed much better in the experimental group than those in the control group.
