Abstract

The METUIA/UFSCar stands out in the Brazilian scene as the pioneer in therapeutic and occupational propositions to public school and the demands arising from the social issue. This research aimed to understand what was produced by this group in terms of action and training in social occupational therapy in public schools, focusing on urban popular youth, in a period between 1998 and 2017. Interviews were conducted with 10 occupational therapists who worked at METUIA/UFSCar, a collective meeting with these professionals to discuss the topic, application of questionnaires with former undergraduate students who did a professional internship at METUIA/UFSCar, and an individual interview with seven of them. The analysis of the results indicates a training proposal that sensitizes occupational therapists to work with the poor youth, apprehending the centrality of the public school for them and, at the same time, produces actions that seek to resignify the school and its space, with production meaning and belonging, which can contribute to the desire for permanence and/or return to the studies of these young people. It is indicated also the incorporation of its theoretical and methodological frameworks in the working experiences of those who went through the group, occupational therapists, and former students, as well as inspiration for similar productions in other universities in the country. It concludes by the relevance of what is being done by METUIA/UFSCar, especially in what is the training of occupational therapists and practices that address demands related to social inequality, which is still a hallmark of Basic Education in Brazil.
