The medical records of these children were reviewed and the interview and test of family performance FF-SILL were applied to the parents. The design of the educational activity comprised 8 weekly working sessions, with 50 to 60 minutes duration each, during which participating, control and evaluation techniques were used. The results of the study were the expected ones in general sense, from which it is infered that it would be very beneficial to extend this teaching-learning modality to all the families which are in that situation and to the school environments.
