Description of the tool:	This is not a Tool already existing at the University of Coimbra, but one that could be elaborated by all partners respecting the cultural differences. The idea of elaborating an "Orientation Guide" for Teachers while dealing with SWI or Educational Special Needs has arised due to the need expressed by academic staff during the interviews (WP2) of more information and training on how to deal with these students and about disability in general and impacts on school context. Teachers stressed that it isn't easy to understand when a student needs special pedagogical support, if his/her impairment or Special Need isn't visible at first sight.
