Breaking Prejudice: A Student with Mental Retardation in a Regular School

The aim of this report is to discuss the practices of the Neuropsychopedagogy Internship and to describe the experiences and perceptions of this period of learning. The internship was carried out at the State Primary School. The school, founded on 7 February 1998, has 11 classrooms, a teachers' room, a secretariat, a library, a canteen and a large playground. The school is a primary school and has a total of 145 students, six classes and its opening hours are morning and afternoon. The teaching staff is made up of 11 teachers, the management team is made up of the headmaster and the educational counsellor, who concurrently performs the role of pedagogical coordinator, and there are also 03 members of staff. The teachers are very interested and are always looking for training to better meet the demands of the students. The group is very engaged with the local community and some of the teachers have worked at the school for a long time. As I already knew the work carried out at this school and was aware of its needs, I chose to work there.
