Before and after the study, Family Burden Evaluation Scale for Families of Child with Intellectual Disabilities and Family Support Scale were practiced with mothers in the study and control groups. Results: It is determined that family burden mean score was decreased, family support median score was increased in the study group mothers after the education. Also, there was a negative and poor level meaningful relation between total family support and total family burden scores in the study group mothers after the education.
