Dyslexia is a one types of Learning Disability which affects abilities in reading, spelling and writing. These issues increase motherhood experiences which subsequently give negative effects to mothers’ life such as physical health, psychological health and social relationship.

The super-ordinate themes are, i.e., “Difficulty yet enduring” and "Selfperseverance” relating to challenges “Never mind, I will finds my ways” relating to coping strategies, “There is always improvement” and “/ wish ... ” relating to hopes emerged in this study. The present study has revealed experiences and knowledge that should be addressed by health professionals such as occupational therapy to construct an effective intervention to mothers raising a child with Dyslexia. The findings provide a deeper understanding to the occupational therapy to support mothers or families effectively.
