What does AEE mean in UNCLASSIFIED

AEE stands for Atendimento Educacional Especializado which is a form of special educational support provided to students who have physical, mental or psychological disorders. It focuses on meeting the individual needs of students with disabilities in order to help them reach their full potential and participate actively in school life.

AEE can provide a wide range of services such as personalised instruction, remedial classes, psychological support and assistance with communication and social development. Some schools may also provide special equipment or assistive technology depending on the student’s needs.

Any student with disabilities related to physical, mental or psychological illness is eligible to receive AEE services. This includes students with learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD and other similar types of disabilities.

To access AEE services, you will need to first be assessed by an educational psychologist or another specialist in the field. Based on the results of the assessment, they will determine if your child qualifies for the program and make recommendations on how best to meet their needs.

Generally speaking, no costs are associated with receiving support through an AEE program as it is usually provided at no additional cost by public schools or institutions funded by government funds. However, some private schools may charge extra fees for the use of specific equipment or materials that are not covered by public funding.

Typically programs run from one semester up until graduation depending on each student's progress towards those goals.
