Abstract: With the recent education reforms in Hong Kong, students with special education needs (SEN) are gradually returning to mainstream schools. There are high expectations on the next generation, especially in terms of education achievements to build a successful path for growth; however, when children have SEN that affect their learning, what problems are faced by their working mothers? Findings provide an overview of the latest work–family conflict situation faced by working mothers of children with SEN. Given the financial burden, they suffer from high work–family conflict, as they are forced to work but are also required to spend more time helping their children.
