Introduction

This subject aims to offer the student a global vision of psycho-educational intervention at school and family levels. Covers the preventive or therapeutic nature of the psychoeducational intervention and how to apply it to different areas and stages of the student's development in their learning process, both emotional and social. The subject will have two main blocks: psycho-pedagogical intervention in childhood and intervention in adolescence.
