Penerimaan orang tua dapat memengaruhi perkembangan anak tunarungu. Berdasarkan hal ini, penelitian dilakukan untuk menguji efektivitas program intervensi “Menjadi Orang Tua Istimewa” dalam meningkatkan pemahaman tentang penerimaan orang tua terhadap anak tunarungu usia dini. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan desain within subject yang diikuti oleh empat partisipan yang merupakan Ibu dari anak tunarungu usia dini. Terdapat tiga materi utama yang disampaikan, yakni kondisi anak tunarungu usia dini, peran orang tua dalam kehidupan anak tunarungu usia dini, dan penerimaan orang tua terhadap anak tunarungu usia dini. Respon partisipan didapatkan menggunakan kuesioner, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan program intervensi tidak signifikan dalam meningkatkan penerimaan orang tua terhadap anak tunarungu usia dini. Hal ini ditunjukkan melalui hasil perbedaan skor post-test dan pre-test (Z = -0,921, p > 0,05) dan perbedaan skor follow-up test dan post-test (Z = 0,000, p > 0,05). Namun hasil pendalaman respon partisipan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pemahaman dan penerapan materi intervensi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai referensi ilmiah dalam pengembangan program intervensi terkait penerimaan orang tua terhadap anak tunarungu.
