AB The article examines the socio-educational barriers and facilitators faced byfamilies of children with cochlear implants (CI) in Andalucía (a region in southern Spain).Through a qualitative approach based on surveys and interviews, three main categoriesof limitations are identified: access to and quality of services, parental stress related tocaregiving and communication, and socioeconomic and individual factors. Among thefacilitators, financial support, family-professional collaboration, and inclusive practices ineducational settings are highlighted. The findings underscore challenges such as the lackof coordination between medical and educational services, the need for teacher training,and the emotional and financial impact on families. Conversely, effective strategies suchas family support networks, specialized hospital coordinators, and inclusive educationalpractices are emphasized. The study concludes that improving access to comprehensiveservices and fostering collaboration between educational and healthcare agents is essen-tial to promote inclusive education and the well-being of families and children with CI.This work advocates for a critical and participatory perspective in the development ofinclusive policies.
