Participants were five welcoming mothers and their welcomed child, divided in Experimental Group and Control. The procedure involves informative lectures cycle about Welcoming Families and a Training Program. The Training Program was realized in groups and individually.

The group intervention had ten meetings in which many themes were discussed. The individual intervention happened at residence and the caregiver orientation occurred in school task doing with the welcoming child. The results demonstrated that the caregivers of Experimental Group increased the positive educational practice happenings and decreased the aversive educational practices and they didn´t return to the levels gained at base line during the follow up. There was also a difference in the results of this group, after the Individual Training. The caregivers of Control Group didn´t change their interaction practices with the welcoming child. One limitation of this study was the lack of objective measures of the child in the school task performance. It is suggested new studies that verify the effectiveness of intervention with teenagers Welcoming Families, doing the adaptations that were necessary to this age
