Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan gambaran penyesuaian diri ibu dan perkembangan kemampuan anak tunaganda-netra. Subjek terdiri dari tiga orang ibu dari anak tunaganda-netra taraf ringan hingga sedang. Gambaran penyesuaian diri ibu diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan ibu. Sementara gambaran perkembangan kemampuan anak (kognitif, bahasa, sosial-emosional, motorik kasar, motorik halus, orientasi-mobilitas, visual, bina-bantu diri) diperoleh melalui asesmen menggunakan alat ukur perkembangan kemampuan anak tunaganda-netra.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, reaksi dan masalah yang dialami ketiga subjek, sehubungan dengan kehadiran anak tunaganda-netra, memiliki persamaan dan perbedaan satu sama lain. Dalam penelitian ini, dua subjek sudah mampu menerima kondisi anak tunaganda-netra, sedangkan satu subjek belum mampu menerima. Satu subjek yang sudah mampu menerima kondisi anak menunjukkan bahwa perkembangan kemampuan anaknya secara umum cenderung baik. Sedangkan, satu subjek yang belum mampu menerima kondisi anak menunjukkan, bahwa perkembangan kemampuan anaknya, secara umum masih perlu mendapat perhatian. Subjek lain yang sudah mampu menerima kondisi anak menunjukkan, bahwa perkembangan kemampuan anaknya tidak jauh berbeda dengan subjek yang belum mampu menerima kondisi anak. Hal ini disebabkan beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi penyesuaian diri ibu, seperti sumber daya pribadi, hubungan pernikahan, karakteristik ketunaan, sumber daya sosial, serta parent support-group.
