A newborn child always brings a great change to its family. If the newborn child has specific needs, its mother mostly experiences not only a great change but also a different organization of her future life. A different lifestyle has its advantages and disadvantages. The goal of this study was to ascertain the lifestyle of mothers of children with disorders, the changes to this lifestyle and whether there is a risk of social isolation. Social isolation is associated with the effort to ascertain the impacts of the place of residence on a mother's lifestyle. The research used a qualitative strategy and the data was analysed using the embedded theory technique. We learned that the lifestyle of mothers of children with a disorder significantly changes in many areas - family and work life as well as personal life, where the most frequent reaction is a change of personality and especially values. We also learned that the place of residence significantly affects their lifestyle, specifically regarding the approach to services. Living in a village or a small town is very restricting for these mothers regarding the approach to services. These changes and facts usually do not lead to a negative approach to life with a disabled child. The research showed that these mothers usually have a different but quality life.
