The purpose of this study was to examine factors affecting social competence of non-disabled children
with mothers with physical disabilities. For this, the study conducted survey among mothers with physical
disabilities fostering children attending an elementary school. The study had following findings. First, the
older mothers with physical disabilities were, and the severer the state of disability was, and the lower
level of perceiving disability as a problem they had, the higher social competence non-disabled children
had. Second, the warmer and more accommodative fostering attitude of mothers with physical disabilities
was, and the more cooperation level from fathers the family had, the higher social competence non-disabled
children had. Third, the level of help from neighbors as perceived by mothers with physical disabilities
didn't affect social competence of non-disabled children. Based on these findings, the study discussed
intervention methods in the aspect of social welfare in an effort to enhance social competence of non-disabled
children with mothers with physical disabilities.
