Abstract

The objective of this research is to deepen in the reality of the diversity attention in primary education stage. From a qualitative approach, the conceptions and practices developed by therapeutic pedagogy (PT) teachers in their classrooms are analyzed. Besides, the advances and limitations that they experience and the type of their continuous training, among others, are also considered. The results show the degree of inclusion of their actions, while indicating the need to foster involvement among teachers and improve the training of specialists. The conclusions indicate the PT's satisfaction with its educational practice and the need for continuous training that helps to seek the student's standard development and overcoming existing barriers.
