Early intervention practices have an important place in early childhood special education practices as in every period. This study aims to examine the early intervention process of parents who have children with special needs during early childhood, the problems they experience and the solution suggestions to these problems. The study was conducted in qualitative research design. 53 parents participated in the research. As a result of the analysis of the opinions obtained with the semi-structured interview form, 6 themes and categories that were related to these themes were determined. When the special need of the child was found, it was seen that more opinions were expressed in the categories of "hospital/doctor" regarding the first person and/or institution theme. The other category in terms of the meaning of early intervention was "starting treatment/education early for the existing situation/problem”. In addition, the category of “leaving it to time and helping with one's own competence” for the theme of struggling with the difficulties experienced also emphasizes how guidance is necessary and important. It was suggested that early intervention and pregnancy screening and the next process should be carried out with guidance.
