Abstract: This project aims to address a situation that is currently being experienced by people whose common denominator is disability and the fact of providing different types of care to their relatives. Therefore, throughout the project we will show the capacity of people with different disabilities, such as sensory and motor disabilities, to provide different types of care to family members in general and to their children in particular. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to show how these people, in addition to requiring care at some point in time, can also provide it, although this attitude is unknown to most of society. The theoretical framework will help to understand the reality of this group, as well as to deconstruct the vision and prejudices that exist in society regarding the fact that people with disabilities exercise their right to be generators of care instead of demanders of care. On the other hand, the field work will offer clear examples about the development of the activity as caregivers, how gender or the economic situation influences, how they face stereotypes, barriers of different kinds or how to make an approach on the mechanisms that allow adjusting to disability to facilitate the paradigm shift from demanding to providing care. All this, under the demand of a new model to manage disability. Finally, the difficulties faced by this group at a time of health crisis, such as the pandemic generated by Covid-19, will be highlighted.
