Sample of 50 mothers of dyslexic children were selected for the study. (25 were working and 25 were non-working). They were administered the perceived social support scale and adult well-being scale. Mean, standard division and t value were calculated for the data. Results show that there is a lack of social support to the working mothers, which is clearly identified in the study. The scores clearly show that there is a significant difference in the social support of the working and non-working mothers having dyslexic children. Level of well-being of working mothers is lower than the level of well-being of non-working mothers. Increase in social support of working mothers will increase the well-being, for non-working it is not positively correlated.
