 The aim of the present study was to clarify, from mothers' perceptions of their experiences, the unique developmental tasks of families to take care of their children with severe cerebral palsy in transition to adulthood at home. We conducted semi-structured interviews with five mothers of children (aged 20-25 years) with severe cerebral palsy. Qualitative descriptive analysis was conducted and extracted categories and subcategories.

 The developmental tasks perceived by the five mothers were “maintaining ties with the community and society,” “maintaining the child's health,” “having a positive attitude toward the present,” and “overcoming the crisis of family life events.”

 The category “maintaining ties with the community and society” could be equated with a general developmental tasks for families in transition to adulthood. On the other hand, “maintaining the child's health” might be brought by the characteristic of children with severe cerebral palsy, such as occurring secondary health problems in that period. Providing appropriate social support such as respite care would reduce their burden and would thereby “overcome the crisis of family life event” in this period. Furthermore, it is important to respect unique family developmental tasks as “having a positive attitude toward the present” built from the experience that they have overcome so far.
