Neurodiversity support initiatives in Mato Grosso

Overview

Municipalities in Mato Grosso, Brazil, are launching initiatives to support neurodivergent individuals and people with disabilities.

In Várzea Grande, the local government is integrating education, health, and social assistance departments. New measures include priority enrollment for neurodivergent students and the establishment of specialized service units and multifunctional resource rooms in schools. An integrated system is also being developed to track developmental history to ensure continuity of care between municipal and state school networks.

In Sorriso, the Mato Grosso Institute for Support to Autists (Imapa) is utilizing equotherapy to assist children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The program, which involves multiprofessional evaluations and staff trained in Brasília, aims to expand its reach from 43 to 60 children by late September through a partnership between the local government and the private sector.
