Students with learning disabilities have intact intellectual and sensory abilities; however, they experience a marked decline in academic achievement compared with their peers. These difficulties often become apparent when the child enters school, which may constitute a source of shock and compounded psychological stress for the mother, particularly for working mothers who must cope with the competing demands of employment and the responsibility of addressing their child's difficulties. Since the family represents a key environment influencing the child's development through patterns of parental interaction, counseling support directed toward the mother is considered an important step in enhancing the child's ability to overcome these difficulties. Accordingly, the present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a family counseling program designed for working mothers of children with learning disabilities, with the aim of reducing their psychological stress and enhancing their role in supporting their children. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design based on pre- and post-tests and was conducted on a sample of 10 working mothers.
