Abstract
The purpose of this research is to make clear the feelings of mothers who raise a child with mild developmental disorders, when they took their child to an examination at a medical institution. As the result of the analysis, the seven categories 【the low level of the recognition of disorder by medical experts】 【the reassessment of the environment along with the medical examination】 【credit in proper reception】 【prejudice from the society】 【agony of parents about the disorder】 【protection for the behavior of a child】 【information from a person concerned】 are extracted. We have found a variety of situations where even a medical expert does not recognize a problematic behavior due to the disorder. There are also varieties of misunderstandings received from the surrounding people due to the low level of recognition of the disorder. It is suggested that medical staff for outpatients should provide more chances for the mothers to share information among themselves so that their children can receive a medical examination without confusions.
