Abstract

In this paper we present an experience of Community Therapy Integrative held classes in high school, the College Model Luis Eduardo Magalhaes, located in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Salvador, which belongs to the public of the State of Bahia. The main objective was to welcome people from the school community (students, parents, grandparents and / or guardians) and the College administration (management, engineers, teachers and staff) in an attempt to promote changes in attitudes of these institutions, other people linked to the process of education, the students and families involved, the community to which they belong, and consequently the Company as a whole. The methodology consisted primarily of creating necessary space within the school timetable in parallel with the normal curricular activity where wheels therapy were performed, aiming to develop the student as a human being and as a citizen. These wheels therapy, whose characteristic is to be open group work were developed in the period May/2010 June/2011 with students of the first, second and third grades, and teachers of these classes in morning and afternoon shifts. Testimonials and questionnaires, this time, the wheels of community care grants to give us statistics that anexaremos to work. Although the results have not yet been measured in quantitative terms, the statements of teachers and students and guardians testify the success of the wheels on the results of community therapy, performed there, which leads us to conclude that it’s worth fighting for and continue investing inclusion in the Community Therapy Education.
