The study sample consisted of 80 mothers of children with special needs. The sample divided equally into 20 for children with minor mental disabilities, 20 for children with hearing disabilities and 20 for children with disabilities. In addition, 20 for children with motor disabilities. In addition, five special activities have been developed for the effectiveness of the early educational intervention method to be applied to mothers and their children. The researcher extracted the trends of the mothers of children with special needs before implementing the activities, and then extracted their attitudes after applying the activities on them and their children in order to know the changes in their attitudes. The results of the research showed the following: 1) There is a positive change in the attitudes of mothers of children with mental disabilities at preschool age about the effectiveness of early educational interventions before and after the implementation of the individual education plan. 2) There is a positive change in the attitudes of mothers of children with hearing impairments at pre)school age about the effectiveness of early educational interventions and after the implementation of the individual education plan. 3) There is a positive change in the attitudes of mothers of visually impaired children at pre)school age about the effectiveness of early educational interventions before and after the implementation of the individual education plan. 4) There is a positive change in the attitudes of mothers of children with motor disabilities at preschool age about the effectiveness of early educational interventions following the implementation of the individual education plan.
