Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine and describe the perceptions of Taiwanese mothers who have children with mild to moderate mental retardation as their children enter their teenage years (13-15 years of age). The focus is on whether these mothers' attitudes toward their children and other individuals with disabilities changed after they had experience in raising their own children with disabilities. The results of this qualitative study indicated that having experience in raising children with disabilities led participants to have a more positive outlook toward their children and others with disabilities. In addition, the results of this study demonstrated that the majority of interviewees believed that karma was a factor in their young teenagers being born with disabilities.
