This research seeks to know the Family Quality of Life (FQoL) in families of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, from the experience of the mother as the main caregiver. The research was developed with a qualitative methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five mothers of students with this diagnosis, enrolled in an Inclusive Regular Basic Education Institution in Lima. The results show that, after the diagnosis, due to ignorance of the subject, the majority of mothers were pointed out as being responsible for the disability of their son or daughter, which generated feelings of sadness and guilt. The stage of adolescence increased difficulties in school and family, which requires a greater deployment of resources and strategies to include the member with disabilities. The mothers appreciate that they go to a regular educational institution, although they perceive that the learning difficulties experienced by their sons and daughters generate frustration and greater awareness of their limitations. They show satisfaction and well-being in the interaction with the group, despite economic limitations. Meanwhile, the overload that falls on the mother has led them to abandon or modify their goals and personal projects. They perceive that the external support received has been insufficient and express their concern for the future of their sons and daughters and hope that they will achieve a technical career or trade, although they are not clear on how to achieve it. The need for strategies to strengthen FQoL is evident, which would improve the social integration of people with disabilities.
