The research design was quasi experimental and pretest-posttest with control group. The population consisted of all mothers with mentally retarded children in special schools in Tabriz in the academic year of 2015-16. A sample of 40 women who received low scores in the Meaning in Life Questionnaire and Emotional Self-Disclosure Questionnaire were selected randomly through multistage sampling. Then, they were divided into two groups of experimental (20) and control (20). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with repeated measures and post hoc test and SPSS software. The results showed that training based on acceptance and commitment was effective on increasing meaningfulness of life and emotional self-disclosure among mothers of mentally retarded children. The findings of this study showed that training based on acceptance and commitment can be used in educational strategies and can offer valuable guidelines to families, officials and experts.
