relatório técnico-pedagógico (RTP) — technical and educational report
A document about a specific pupil: it sets out what prevents the child from learning on an equal footing with others and what support measures they need — from help from the teacher in class to sessions with a special needs teacher. It is drawn up by the school's multidisciplinary team (EMAEI) together with the parents, and it is the document parents rely on when they demand that the school or the ministry provide the conditions the child needs.
Where you come across it. A child who needs support at school, getting a place at a school near home, a dispute with the school or the Ministry of Education, court.
Without the report you have no grounds to demand anything: the court and the school look not at what the parents ask for but at what the report says. The report lists measures (medidas de suporte à aprendizagem e à inclusão), not a diagnosis, and it is reviewed when the child's situation changes.
