The pillars involved in implementing the Individual Therapeutic Project (ITP) in the context of rehabilitation for people with disabilities will guide the discussions of the Re(h)abilitar SIG in 2026. The web conference, coordinated by the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) and UFRN, takes place monthly, with the first meeting scheduled for next Wednesday, April 1st.
The project holds collaborative sessions in which researchers and healthcare professionals meet virtually to discuss topics related to teaching, research and care, management, and remote evaluation. Access to the web conference is free, through [link/platform name]. Telemedicine University Network (RUTE), through prior registration on the platform.
The opening session will be led by the General Coordinator of Health for People with Disabilities at the Ministry of Health, Arthur Medeiros, and the coordinator of the Specialized Rehabilitation Center at ISD, Camila Simão. The professionals will discuss the topic "PTS as a tool for managing and coordinating care in the Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPD)".
For Camila Simão, focusing on PTS is necessary and important to strengthen RCPD in the management and coordination of care. “This theme aims to foster knowledge building and the exchange of experiences in order to address a demand from the RCPD, which needs to discuss this topic to allow for its effective implementation. Throughout the nine meetings that will take place until the end of the year, we will discuss the necessary pillars for this implementation, as well as tips and exchanges of successful experiences,” he said.
The Individual Therapeutic Project (ITP) is a set of interdisciplinary actions designed for an individual and their family, focused on needs centered on the health context. It seeks to overcome the traditional biomedical model, prioritizing the user's autonomy and the bond with the team. The process involves diagnosis, goals, division of responsibilities, and continuous reassessment.
