The abrupt changes in social and family dynamics and habits that have occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have been unprecedented in modern society and have consequently affected the psychological well-being of the population. The aim of this symposium is to show some of the results of different research related to the weaknesses, but also strengths detected in Spanish families during this confinement. Specifically, and in relation to the concerns, fears and changes in routines detected, the analysis of variables related to strategies and psychological adjustment produced in adults (stress and resilience) and their perception of psychological adjustment in children and young people, in general, and in children with chronic illnesses and other neurodevelopmental problems (including dyslexia), in particular, both in psychoemotional and psychoeducational variables, is addressed. The practical implications of this work are also discussed.
