ABSTRACT Objective: Understand the continuity of stimulation of neuro-psychomotor development in children with congenital Zika syndrome. Method: Descriptive-exploratory study with theoretical support in symbolic interactionism. Between August and November 2019, 12 health professionals were interviewed in depth; and to the focus group, seven caregivers of children with the syndrome. The analysis was thematic inductive. Results: The continuation of neuro-psychomotor stimulation of children with Zika syndrome goes through: organizational difficulties (lack of doctors, professional unpreparedness, dissatisfaction and search for other services); socioenvironmental aspects (low maternal education, low socioeconomic level, difficulty in moving and lack of support); and conditions inherent to children (hospitalizations for respiratory crises, seizures, hypoactivity and social stigma). Final considerations: A strengthened support network with qualified human resources is necessary in order to provide comprehensive care and avoid the discontinuity of neuro-psychomotor stimulation of children with congenital Zika syndrome.
