The primary purpose of the study was to explore the challenges and propose support approaches for South-East Asian mother with children who need special education. By means of semi-structure interview and qualitative research, the study examined the knowledge base and capability of the above foreign mothers in child care and education. The purposeful sampling was employed ending up with 5 subjects. Among them, 3 are Vietnamese, whereas the others are Indonesian. The research findings were as follows: (A) All of the 5 interviewees are main care givers of children and the role of mother is very important. These children are reported to be problematic at home but praised out of home, indicating a lack of expertise in their child care and education. (B) These South-East Asian spouses of the research rarely obtain assistances from parents-in-law or other family members. It probably results from current family structure. (C) If there is any inconsistency on the view of child care and education among family members, the action or approach taken would be different. It only increases (instead of decreasing) the level of pressure of South-East Asian spouses in child care and education. (D) These South-East Asian mothers require skills in child care and education, as well as appropriate placement agencies. (E) Quality of interaction between parents and teachers need to be enhanced. (F) Social worker’s active and accurate intervention is highly required by these South-East Asian mothers. (G) Academic background of South-East Asian mothers had an impact on their attitude of child care and education.
