Abstract

This research aims to analyze the experiences of parents about the therapeutic process of their children with cerebral palsy. To make this possible, it is relevant to provide a contextual perspective of this pathology, granting protagonism to the experiences of participation in parents of children with this condition, as well as know the occupational implications that this mentioned participation carries. A qualitative methodology was used, with a narrative design. Main results expose that the participation of parents is essential in the process of functional recovery of their children, nevertheless this carries occupational repercussions at emotional, social and physical levels. The research concludes that parents perceive their participation as satisfactory, nevertheless this one changes according to the context where it is realized and the severity of the clinical profile of the kid. In the same manner, an occupational imbalance is distinguished in the area of leisure and free time, associated with the distribution of the time and work - care of the kid
