摘要:This article discusses the movements and the singularities that characterize the passage from the childhood education to elementary school students target of Special Education. The ethnographic qualitative research has been developed in the specialized attendance service context – early stimulation and initial psychopedagogy – at the Municipal Education Network of Porto Alegre/RS. Interviews were conducted with 14 teachers from the referred service. Systemic thinking provided the analytical lens for understanding the phenomenon in question. It was possible to observe the tensions in this transition, manifested in positioning teachers dissonances. Also, we highlight that this passage does not occur for all children, despite the investments from Municipal Education Network to qualify this process.
