Mothers age range between 25 and 40 with mean±SD (31±3.9) yr. According to Morgan's table, 400 mothers of children with different disabilities who attended the Kermanshah special schools were participated in the study. Structural Equation Modeling method using PLS software version 3 was used to test the model. Results: The results showed that the initial maladaptive schemas and the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties had a negative and significant effect on the quality of life in mothers of children with different disabilities; Disconnection and rejection, impaired self-control, other orientation, deafness and impaired limitation had a positive and significant effect on the difficulty of emotion regulation; Disconnection and rejection, impaired self-management, other orientation, deafness, impaired action and acceptance had a positive and significant effect, and the difficulty of regulating emotion has a positive and significant effect on action and acceptance (P<0.05).
