Majority of previous studies focused on the deficit perspective such as difficulties of family of children with disabilities and family stress, putting the main emphasis on the relief of maladaptation of families of children with disabilities.

Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis by SPSS PC+ 10.0. The summary of the results is as follows.

Family stress and adaptation are in negative correlation and the adjusted R square of family adaptation by family stress is 18.4%. Family resilience and family adaptation have relatively high positive correlation and the adjusted R square of family adaptation by family resilience is 49.4%. It showed that family resilience is a main effect on family adaptation. (2) Family resilience functioned to moderate family adaptation between family stress.
