Abstract:

Among the aspects that contribute to the quality family of life are the different supports to families. This study aims to identify the type of support that families of children with disabilities, users of early intervention services, consider relevant and that way the public administration influences the quality of this support. This is a qualitative study based on a critical social paradigm. Participants were 16 mothers and 4 fathers who have been interviewed, and their contributions were analysed using discourse analysis. Among the contributions the importance of family support and networks of parents of children with disabilities were highlighted. The role of the supportsthe health professionals is also crucial, and therefore the cuts in public health and social services has exacerbated the inequity in health. In practice this is highlighted in relation to those who can or cannot afford additional services. Other approaches in the support to families are suggested.
