Associação Brasileira de Psicopedagogia

What Associação Brasileira de Psicopedagogia does

The Associação Brasileira de Psicopedagogia (ABPp) is a Brazilian nonprofit civil association founded in 1980 in São Paulo as the national reference for the psychopedagogy profession. It serves individual psychopedagogues with degree or postgraduate qualifications in Psychopedagogy or related fields (Pedagogy, Psychology, Speech-Language Pathology), students enrolled in these programs, and institutional members including universities, schools, foundations, and civil society organizations. ABPp operates a nationwide network of 20 affiliated sections and nuclei covering all five Brazilian regions (North: 7 states, Northeast: 9, Southeast: 4, South: 3, Central-West: 4), and represents the profession in federal, state, and municipal advocacy — most notably through the ongoing PL 1675/2023 effort to regulate psychopedagogy practice.

ABPp's core products and services are association-based rather than technology-based. They include the peer-reviewed Revista Psicopedagogia (published since 1982, indexed in 8 national and international databases), ABPp Books (8 published titles including congress proceedings and the 40th anniversary commemorative volume), the annual Congresso Brasileiro de Psicopedagogia and VI International Symposium, regional state encounters (XIV Encontro Mineiro, VI Encontro Baiano, XXVI Encontro Goiano, etc.), the Titularidade (full membership) certification process, online study groups, the public member directory, and social projects delivering psychopedagogical services to underserved communities. ABPp also conducts federal technical cooperation work with the Secretaria Nacional de Atenção à Primeira Infância (SNAPI) under the Programa Criança Feliz, extending its reach to approximately 3,000 municipalities.

ABPp's revenue model is annual recurring membership contributions across four tiers for the 2026 cycle: Efetivo/Colaborador/Titular (R$480 with discount, R$495 standard), Estudante (R$286/R$295), and Institucional (R$1,086/R$1,120). Members renew by December 31 each year. Revenue is supplemented by Titularidade examination fees, event registrations, and publication sales. The organization employs approximately 28 staff at its São Paulo headquarters, has no external investors or parent entity, and is governed by a National Council, elected Executive Board, and life council members under the current 2026-2028 triennium led by President Monica Pagel Eidelwein. Distribution is driven by self-serve online enrollment via sistema.abpp.com.br and field-level support through the 20 regional sections and nuclei, with no proprietary technology platform underlying the offering.
