The participants in this research are made up of two distinct groups. The first group is made up of students who are duly enrolled in high school technical education, integrated with basic education at IFAL - Campus Maceió, and the second group is made up of managers who work in the pedagogy, psychology, student assistance and support center for people with specific needs. The data collection instruments were a diagnostic questionnaire and an Educational Product (EP) evaluation form for the students, as well as a semi-structured interview for the managers. To analyze the data, we used the Content Analysis technique. The analyses were organized by dimensions of analysis as follows: semi-structured interview - 1) Functioning of the sectors; 2) Services offered; 3) Contributions; 4) Operationalization; 5) Dissemination. Diagnostic questionnaire: 1) Student profile; 2) Perception of the organization of academic sectors; 3) Understanding of services; 4) Access to information. The diagnostic questionnaire and semi-structured interview showed positive results in relation to the research's guiding question, in that they served to guide the construction of the Educational Product. The results from the evaluation form filled in by the students and the feedback received from the psychology sector manager regarding the Educational Product revealed that the manual provides a comprehensive overview of the procedures, clarifying doubts and providing relevant guidelines to guide students on their journey at IFAL. Also noteworthy is the clarity of the language used and the organization of the material, making it more accessible to students, especially those who are starting their academic journey.ptOrganização de Informações.
