The intervention in the Special Educational Needs scope should privilege activities that fit the characteristics, incapacities and development objectives of each student. These assumptions allowed the construction and implementation of an intervention project in the field of Animal Assisted Therapy, with dogs, in Multiple Disabilities Units context. Individual objectives were defined and the sessions, wich took place for over two months, were planned according to them. The activities and students’behaviorswere recorded and analyzed, and there wasan increase in motivation and task involvement, which allowed an evolution in the target behaviors of all the students involved.
