Development is the pattern of continuity and change in human capacities that occur throughout life. The majority of development focuses on growth, although it also covers decline (for example, physical ability may deteriorate with age). Disability is more than just an impairment; it is the result of the interaction of a person's limitations with their environment, whether physical or mental, and is a multidimensional phenomenon that includes bodily functions, activity limitations, barriers to participation, and environmental factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between religious coping and self-acceptance in children with physical disabilities in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. This study uses a quantitative method with sampling based on proportionate stratified random sampling. The sample size was 208 parents. In this study, two scales have been utilized: the religious coping scale, which is based on aspects of Alfakseir (2011), and the self-acceptance scale, which is based on aspects of Berger (1952). The study's findings demonstrate a correlation coefficient of r=0.504 with p=0.000, indicating that parents of children with physical disabilities in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar are more self-accepting. In contrast, the lower the religious coping, the lower the self-acceptance of parents with physically disabled children in Aceh Besar and Banda Aceh.
