ESTUDO DA CRIANÇA COM TRANSTORNO DE ESPECTRO AUTISTA: NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present changes in communication, social interaction and behavior. In this sense, there are several challenges to be faced in different spaces. The theme of this work is the study of children with autism spectrum disorder: in early childhood education. The general objective is to understand specialized pedagogical practices aimed at learning for children with autism spectrum disorder in early childhood education and as specific objectives to verify intervention programs from the perspective of the development of children with autism spectrum disorder in early childhood education; record the importance of family involvement in monitoring children on the autism spectrum in early childhood education; point out the most common challenges faced by children with autism spectrum disorder in early childhood education. Thus, to achieve these objectives, bibliographical research and qualitative analysis were used. In this way, the results demonstrate that the professionals’ interpretation brought the possibility of broadening the perspectives on the reality experienced by students with ASD in the school space and that the inclusion process is happening slowly and with many gaps still to be overcome. The need for continued training for teachers is also of great importance for the acceptance of inclusion as a social process, and the pedagogical strategies used by them are the main instrument of social interaction for students with ASD in the school environment.
