Para saber mais: recursos de acessibilidade acadêmica e acomodações pedagógicas
O NAP orienta estudantes com necessidades educacionais específicas, como deficiência, TDAH, TEA, dislexia, transtornos de aprendizagem, condições de saúde física ou mental, limitações temporárias ou outras situações que possam interferir na participação acadêmica. Essas situações podem justificar a análise de recursos de acessibilidade acadêmica ou acomodações pedagógicas, como orientação pedagógica, tempo adicional em avaliações, sala separada, ajustes no ambiente de prova, mediação com docentes ou outros apoios compatíveis com a necessidade apresentada. A solicitação deve ser feita ao NAP com antecedência, preferencialmente no início do semestre ou assim que a necessidade for identificada. Para avaliações, recomenda-se que o pedido seja realizado com pelo menos 15 dias de antecedência. A apresentação de atestado, laudo ou relatório profissional não garante automaticamente a concessão de acomodações. A documentação é necessária para subsidiar a análise, mas não substitui a avaliação do NAP. Nos cursos de Medicina e Odontologia, as acomodações devem ser compreendidas como ajustes razoáveis, que podem reduzir barreiras mas não podem alterar os objetivos de aprendizagem ou comprometer a segurança do estudante, dos colegas e dos pacientes. Para solicitar a análise, o estudante deve entrar em contato com o NAP da sua faculdade, apresentar a documentação disponível e seguir as orientações da equipe.

Emotional issues such as sadness, anxiety, stress, or loss of self-confidence; difficulties with organization, learning, or academic performance; conflicts in relationships with peers, faculty, or family members; feelings of isolation, homesickness, or emotional overload.
