- Abstract
This study characterized the support network offered to mothers with intellectual disability and analyzed the views of people who provide them support. Five mothers with intellectual disability and eight sources of support participated in the study. An interview about social support was conducted with the mothers and another interview about the support provided was conducted with the sources of support for data collection. The results showed limited social network, mainly consisted by family members and practical support, and difficult life histories as well. These data indicate the need for services that increase the social network of those mothers and the types of support, and that favor the importance of future studies to investigate the issues involved in social isolation and maternity of such women.
