Abstract
Getting a diagnosis of a disability or a developmental delay may happen in different moments and may expand in time. During the pre-diagnosis period, families experience frustration as they do not know what happens and what to do. Early attention services are a resource to families. In order to know how families live these wait- times, 12 parents were studied. Results show that the length of the wait-time and the relationships developed with the professionals are core variables to face this family situation.
