ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to find out the meaning of father 's role in the education of children with disabilities and the meaning of fathers' raising children with disabilities. Qualitative data were gathered with interviews and researchers journals. In-depth interviews were implemented 35times and focus group interviews were implemented five times totally. As a result, three big categories were identified and 6 sub-themes. : narrative about environments, narrative about teachers, narrative about friends and narrative about time. In this study, we did not reveal the relationship between the type of disability of the child and the perception of the role of the father according to the severity of the disability. In the future, I would like to study the father 's experience and role perception according to the age of the child.
