This article arises from a context characterized by the confinement suffered in Spain in March 2020, due to Covid-19. It aims to know how families with descendants with additional educational support needs, enrolled in Primary Education have reconciled their times, paying attention to the factors that made it difficult to combine their work, family and personal life, as well as the reconciliation measures demanded. The incidence of the mother's educational level and working conditions are also analyzed. A descriptive-comparative methodology is used based on a questionnaire applied online in the Spanish territory. The 127 participating families come from a larger sample within the framework of the R + D + i project "Education and conciliation for equity: analysis of its impact on school and social times of childhood" (Ref.: RTI2018-094764- B-100), which was selected based on availability and collaboration criteria. The analysis of the quantitative data complemented by a content analysis of the answers given in the open questions. Among the results found, a low level of conciliation in general is revealed, where the monitoring of school tasks was the main factor that has made it difficult to articulate daily times. The conclusions highlight the need to improve conciliation actions from a perspective of more community responsibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
