Resumo
The topic of medicalization, especially of children in the schooling process, has raised in the recent
years, with emphasis on the "popularization" of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Most children in the schooling process has been diagnosed with ADHD and other disorders such as
Learning Disorders, Reading or Writing, are referred by teachers and schools. Thus, the present
research sought to investigate how the referral process to health care system works with teachers
from a school of the Public Educational Network of Goiânia. After carrying out a bibliographic
review in the Virtual Health Library of Brazil (BVS-Psi), on the national production regarding the
referral of children in schooling process to health professionals, we performed an empirical
research in which we made participant observations and interviews with five Teachers. It is a
qualitative approach, guided by Socio-Historical Psychology, and the analyzed data was in
according to the significance-centered method. The collected data organization were into four
meaning topics: the school and the teacher into the difficulties faced in the teaching process; the
issues and responsibilities considered for referral; the referral to health care as a mechanism to
clarify and guide the children's difficulties; and, from the contradictions in between the real
purpose of referrals and the reality. Then it showed us that the referrals occur from a conception
that the difficulties presented in the teaching-learning process are personal, centered on the
children’s bodies and understood by the teachers as possible solutions through interventional of health assistance.
