Propuesta de intervención con las familias de los niños y niñas con discapacidad cognitiva, atendidos por una institución privada de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This intervention proposal arises from the field of protection in Social Work. The proposal is aimed at families of children with cognitive disabilities, who are cared for by a private institution in the city of Guayaquil. The idea arises in order to contribute to the institutional comprehensive care processes, since during the application of the diagnosis weaknesses were identified in this type of process. In the first instance, a diagnosis was made with a sample of 57 families, the instruments used to collect information were a survey structured by 42 questions where the variables family, health, education and work were worked on; in addition to a semi-structured interview consisting of a 10-question questionnaire that was clearly aimed at families with children with cognitive disabilities. For this reason, we have worked from a mixed approach. To deepen the proposal, he has chosen to work with the family systemic theory and Piaget's theory of Cognitive Development, with these theoretical references, greater support was given to understand the reality of families with children with cognitive disabilities. After having analyzed the different systems, sub-systems, behavior and interactions of families and children from the different proposed theories, this results in the construction of a family intervention proposal, which is composed of processes, activities, techniques and results, all this contributed to the fulfillment of the proposed general objective.
