Since the female single-parent family has become increasingly present in our society, this fact happens due to the great metamorphoses in which the nuclear family has been going through. In this way, this study seeks to understand the challenges and dilemmas that single-parent families of mothers with children with disabilities face in accessing contemporary social policies. The methodology used was bibliographic, with search for articles on sites such as Scielo, Google academic, among others, to try to resolve some concerns about this topic, making it clear that it has not yet been possible to exhaust information on this subject.
