The birth of a mentally retarded child raises serious problems that challenge all family members and creates tensions in families, especially the parents [1]. A mentally retarded child can have undesirable effects on the family base and family performance; it puts the family under physical, mental, social, and economic pressures [3]. Mothers spend more time with mentally retarded children and take responsibility for their education in addition to routine life duties.

Retarded children put mothers under physical, mental, and social pressures that severely decrease their quality of life.
