By means of semi-structure, a student of new immigrants with special education service in junior high school and important others (including her parents, teachers and peers)were invited to in-depth interview. Texts were also collected from observation record and documents. Through data analysis of the collected texts, the findings were in the following paragraphs. The student in the case study shows the characters of a fine physical-self identification, the positive self-confidence, and the harmonious parent-child interation. The acception of family members and the foreign cultural identity from her mother both contribute to shape the child’s self-concept. Comparing the academic performance of the child and her schoolmates raised by Taiwanese parents, there were minor differences, caused by the reason of disabilities qualities. Social self-concept of the child was strengthened or weakened based on the interaction with peers. In another way, religious beliefs could help to stable the self-concept. Social-economic status of the family shows the negative influence on the child’s other aspects of self-concept. This study finds that analyzing the students of new immigrants' self-concept could assist educators and professionals to locate the special needs of the students. Based on the findings, this study was ended with some recommendations for students of new immigrants, their parents, school teachers, and further researchers.
