The Department of Psychology and Support for Inclusive Education has the collaboration of a psychologist and a teacher supporting the primary school, who are part of the Multidisciplinary Team to Support Learning and Inclusion of Colégio da Beloura, together with other elements from the educational community: pedagogical direction, teachers, external technicians who support students and parents.

The department is coordinated, at a central level, in the Project To Be group, by Dr. Dora Guerreiro, a psychologist with extensive professional experience in educational contexts and a member of the group’s Pedagogical Council, where she is also Pedagogical Coordinator.
