Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is characterized by cognitive and behavioral alterations with various degrees of mental disorder. Its prevalence is of 1/7.500 newborns and it is caused by a microdeletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 at region 7q11.23, caused by the loss of approximately 20-23 genes which explains the broad spectrum in the presented phenotype. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) displays a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity. It is characterized by motor agitation, difficulty or reluctance to perform tasks that require effort and concentration; despite the absence of intellectual disability, the disorder can lead to social inability, school failure and difficulties with family relations. According to literature there is a higher prevalence of problems related to mental health and inappropriate parenting style practices in parents of children with intellectual disability. Thus, this study has the objective of assessing indicators of mental health and parenting style practices in parents of children and adolescents with WBS and intellectual disability, and to compare them with a group of parents of children with ADHD (without intellectual disability). It was used a correlational descriptive method; the sample was composed of 30 parents of children with ADHD and 24 parents of children with WBS. Data collection instruments were: Parenting Style Inventory (PSI), Family Support Perception Inventory (FSPI), Adult Self-Report 18-59 (ASR), World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQL-bref). Results show that despite the positive rate of adequate parenting practices by the parents of both groups, the use of negative practices was observed, including negligence and physical abuse. The group of parents (ADHD) presents deficient perception of family support and quality of live in the area of social relations. Both groups presented clinical or borderline rates of anxiety, depression and somatic complaints, this rate was higher for parents (ADHD). Therefore it was verified the need for creation of support programs that focus the dynamics and functioning of these families in order to promote mental health, quality of life and adequate parenting practices.
