The purpose of this article is to demonstrate, through a study case, the clinic developed by ELT. In order to produce health, we believe that this clinic must offer more than just a simple therapeutical treatment. It should go over its limits and add to its knowledge other knowledgement, building up a new form of looking at and thinking about the handicapped infants and teenagers. As we report about this case, we point out that the clinic of infants and teenagers has its own peculiarities and lead us to a differentiated kind of work, which goes through the daily life of this community, the partnerships and interactions with other institutions, performing a interdisciplinary work.
