 It is granted to working mothers of children with severe irreversible and permanent disabilities, in vegetative and bedridden states, with a tendency to progression over time and profound affectations of the neurocognitive and adaptive functions of the environment in pediatric age, without the possibility of institutional care.

 For the granting of the service, the following requirements must be met:

  1.  The mother has been employed at the time of the child's birth or when the child acquired the disability.
  2.  She has abandoned her employment relationship due to the need to dedicate herself to caring for the child.
  3.  The degree of disability of the child prevents him from accessing the national education system, including any modality of educational attention or other institutional alternative of the MINSAP.
  4.  That the child with severe disability is of pediatric age, considering that at this stage they benefit from rehabilitation and stimulation programs, as well as educational and psycho-pedagogical programs on an outpatient basis, essential for the evolution, prognosis and maintenance of quality of life.
