Parental assistance aims to enable chronically ill parents to care for the well-being of their children in a self-determined manner and according to their own educational ideas. Parental assistance has the task of compensating for your illness-related limitations. It is used in the care and provision of the child, in the household as well as in the accompaniment outside the home (shopping, pediatrician's visit, etc.). Parent assistance does not replace the need for personal assistance for the chronically ill parent in other areas of life.
On the website of the Bundesverband behinderter und chronisch kranker Eltern e. V. www.behinderte-eltern.de you can find a comprehensive guide to parent assistance for applying for and organizing personal assistance to care for and provide for children.
