Summary/Abstract: The experience of raising and looking after a child with neuro-psychomotor disabilities is one that creates continuous stress that will have an impact on all spheres of family life. Studies show that family members who face the situation of having a child with disabilities encounter a series of economic, social, psychic/ emotional, as well as somatic problems. In this paper I propose to specifically discuss the problems facing family members of children with neuro- psychomotor disabilities in relation to the situation they have to cope with and, at the same time, to present concrete intervention methods for these problems, such as micro level intervention - family and small groups using case management, support groups for parents and personal development groups for the children.
