This article presents findings from a phenomenological dissertation that interviewed mothers of young children who acquired permanent disabilities. Mothers' accounts provide a rich source of information to professionals about the subjective and interpersonal experiences that accompany unexpected acquired disability in a young child. Their stories reveal the complex interplay of emotions that occur in the immediate aftermath of acquired disability and all along the continuum of the child's care. Mothers also identify qualities and barriers that influence their satisfaction with parent/professional relationships. The article highlights the value of an integrated model for theory and practice based on mothers' earned wisdom
