We interviewed 14 students and their teachers to clarify the process that students with developmental disabilities and low self-esteem feel the effects and changes they experienced while receiving instruction in the resource room. As a result of the M-GTA analysis, a related model consisting of 7 categories and 29 concepts was generated: [Impressions before instruction], [Impressions during instruction], [Feeling of trust and security in the person in charge], [Feeling of need for instruction], [Interaction with others], [Psychological changes], and [Changes in interpersonal relationships]. Although the negative impressions that the students had before the instruction did not disappear, a process of psychological change and change in interpersonal relationships was found as the students received the instruction while feeling a sense of trust and security in their teachers. The results showed that the positive things that the students said were generally consistent with the things that the teachers valued in their instruction. In addition, the content of the instruction was related to changes in self-evaluation, and was thought to have an effect on changes in self-esteem.
