        abstract = {This study examines how the mothers of disabled children involve and care for their children with their day-to-day lives. The perception towards the disabled children by the mother is a complex range of feelings, viz. love, joy, sadness, and loss. When a child is first diagnosed with symptoms of being disabled, their goals and dreams for the future have been lost. Strong support systems from the other members of family can result in more constructive attitudes and coping mechanisms, whereas a lack of support can exacerbate stress and feelings of inadequacy. This paper hence aims to investigate the involvement and the caring pattern of mothers with their disabled children in Guwahati City. The investigator has taken 30 mothers as samples in different categories of disabled children for the study on the basis of the purposive sampling technique. The questionnaire for the mothers has been used as the tool of the study. The findings highlight the profound roles of mothers in involvement and caring for their disabled children with multifaceted challenges.},
