This Curricular Unit, worth 7 credits in a semester, is organized in lectures (2 ECTS), theoretical and practical classes (4 ECTS) and fieldwork (1 ECTS). From the contents exposed in lectures, "texts" and "exercises" will be provided to students, which form the basis of thematic works of theoretical and practical lessons. Visits to institutions of different types, such as hospital services, special education centers, etc., constitute the fieldwork of this subject.
Thus, we aim at a permanent confrontation between theoretical models and practical analysis conducted through visits made and documents that describe the work that is being developed in institutions in Portugal.
This model implies a high attendance and participation of students and the constitution, in theoretical-practical and practical classes, of small workgroups.

Evaluation:
Test 40%; Written work 40%; Visit reports 20%
