Desafios na inclusão de alunos com transtorno do espectro autista na sala de aula regular

Abstract

Autism is characterized as a spectrum and presents ways and degrees of intensity that vary from person to person. Currently the number of children with this disorder has increased significantly, being increasingly present in socio-educational environments. The objective of this research was to identify the main challenges faced in the process of including students with Autism Spectrum Disorder in regular schools. The methodology used to carry out the research was bibliographic, with a qualitative approach that was carried out through a literature review in the Scientific Electronic Library Online database and CAPES Periodicals Portal with the purpose of finding research focusing on the construction of knowledge consistent with the topic under study. It is concluded that challenges in the process of inclusive education for children with ASD are common in the Brazilian educational context, and are directly related to the structural characteristics of schools, lack of adequate technological resources and mainly lack of qualification of teachers to serve this audience.
