ABSTRACT
The IRDI Project in Nurseries aimed to assess 74 infants from 0 to 18 months old attending Nurseries of the Porto Alegre education system for nine months. The IRDI Methodology (Clinical Risk Indicators for Child Development) consists of 31 indicators divided by age groups and articulated into psychoanalytic theoretical axes. The absence of these indicators can show a sign of psychic suffering. This article proposes to revisit the case of an infant assessed by the project who underwent interventions by the researchers, considering that these were important for him to resume his constitutive path. For this, we will be presenting clinical vignettes from the field journals of the researchers who visited the school, reports of the observations, and video footage of the activities carried out during the assessment. Upon returning to school for a new follow-up, this 3-year-old boy no longer had clinical symptoms, and was considered well-positioned in constitutive operations.
