Abstract
Introduction: The Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by persistent deficits in communication and social interaction in multiple contexts and restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Aim: The objective of this work was to present and analyze a program that offers specialized educational service in Physical Education and Art (dance), proposed for a student with ASD, based on a body approach methodology. Methods: A case study was carried out with a student with ASD for three years of corporal intervention practice with two weekly sessions at the Aquatic Activities and Body Expression sessions in a community project. Conclusion: It was possible to observe that the student demonstrated significant improvements in social interaction, communication, and development of the corporal scheme, confirming the effectiveness of the presented corporal intervention.
