The research came out with the following conclusions. First, with a growing awareness that family is the foundation of the development of children, parents and families are prime providers of various environments necessary for their children. Thus, recently, a greater stress is put on the family-centered approach to boost the effect of education of disabled children by including their care takers, namely, parents and families in it, instead of offering children-centered education. Second, as follows are measures to assist parents in educational activities of disabled children and maximize the corresponding effect. Parents should participate in establishing polices on disabilities and individualized education programs, join related efforts as supporting assistants, and be encouraged to learn methods aimed at preventing and addressing problems of their disabled children. This education will develop the role and function of parents. Also, parent counselling is suggested to address attitude problems and psychological conflicts of parents of disabled children to help them interact with their children and change themselves.
