Abstract
This article aims to propose reflections about the care of school demand, specifically the difficulty in learning, made by psychologists working in the network of Secondary Health Care of the city of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso. This study is based on the critical perspective in Psychology and was conducted from a qualitative research we seek to identify the meaning that professionals attribute to the school complaints, the theoretical approaches that underpin and tools and methodologies used in practice. The results corroborate previous studies in that school complaints are one of the major requests received in health units areunderstood as a phenomenon resulting from the child's problems, parents and inadequate teaching techniques. The results also point to a mismatch between the proposed service network of Secondary Health Care and the care of school demand.
