The Psychopedagogy and Counseling Department attends to the educational needs of children, adolescents and young people to promote the development of their cognitive, social, physical and psychological abilities in an inclusive environment through group and individual strategies. The department relies on a Regular Education Support Services Unit (USAER) model to guide teachers and tutors and to care for students who present a Special Educational Need, with or without a disability, triangulating information to achieve comprehensive care. The team works within the school community so that diagnosis, attention and follow-up are collaborative rather than isolated actions. The school views differences as opportunities for inclusive and equitable development, with the aim of giving all students equal access to education regardless of origin, gender or condition. The department maintains an internal protocol and a parent manual for the process. The defined functions include preserving and improving learning, analyzing factors affecting learning, providing guidance on personal matters, preventing risky behaviors, assisting with emotional and academic problems, coordinating with interdisciplinary teams, fostering well-being and self-knowledge, specifying psychopedagogical impressions and learning strategies, establishing a communication triangle between parents, teachers and the department, and training teachers in interventions.
