The purpose of this research was to explore the meaning of education and support inform for severe disabilities on culturally and linguistically diverse(CALD) family. a qualitative research to study was chosen to allow an in-depth exploration of the issue. individual recorded interviews were carried out with foreign mother, special education teacher and therapist. they have experience about CALD severe disabilities student. and collected documents.
The result of this analysis showed that first, difficulty of education for students is not disability student but is foreign mother. because of language problem. foreign mother doesn't know Korean, teacher and therapist don't know English. so they have difficulty of counseling.
Second, teacher and therapist don't see CALD of severe disability student. because student's disability degree is too severe. so CALD is hidden. but foreign mother showed CALD. she know only little word on Korean. so she taught her child as English and little Korean.
Third, support information are various. CALD student is belong to 'CALD' and 'disability'. therefore he received many support. such as assistance device, language education, voucher and so on. however, the support was inappropriate in student’s state.
Fourth, foreign mother, teacher, therapist must cooperate for education on CALD severe disability student. education with CALD severe disability student, they have alternative of communication that is changing the note form, father educational involvement and support interpretation.
This research will contribute to an understanding of the lives of foreign mothers of disability children. and assist in bringing provide CALD family with some information of ways in which they can collaborate with parents of disability student.
