The goal of the thesis is based on answering research questions. The first question is focused on the aspects of a life of families that are taking care of children with disabilities and where we can meet with Intergenerational Solidarity. The second research question looks into if Intergenerational Solidarity is factor that might affect placing children with disabilities in special needs facilities. In the empirical part of the diploma thesis is used a method of a qualitative research in a form of semi-structured interview. The research is made up by 6 communicative partners who are caring about the kid with disability and have at least 1 healthy kid. The results are analyzed with the help of a open coding. Research shows that Intergenerational Solidarity has its role in the lives of the families with disabled kids. The extent of this importance is affected by many individual factors. Intergenerational Solidarity is primarily important in emotional and technical assistance. These fields can significantly help to improve life of whole family. Also, it was discovered that Intergenerational Solidarity might be one of the crucial factors that help to decide if the kids will be places in special needs facilities in a long term. But it emerged that not always parents see an avoidance of an institutional care as the best for their kid. The results of the research could be used to to raise an awareness among people that are close to the family that even a little help from them can play a great importance for the family.
