O processo de aprendizagem de crianças autistas

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood. It is characterized by deficits in communication and social interaction and repetitive and restricted patterns of behavior, interests or activities. As it has been the subject of countless research in recent years, the learning process of children with ASD is the focus of different professionals who work in the educational area, as well as family members, who perceive the difficulties in the classroom in providing quality care for these students. Thus, the objective of this work is to explore, in the scientific literature, publications that highlight how the learning process occurs in children with ASD. The bibliographic review of scientific articles, books, current legislation and manuals that addressed the topic was carried out in the Periódicos Capes, SciELO and Google Scholar databases. The keywords used for the search were: autism, special education and learning and their combinations were used to carry out the research. During the search, the keywords will be linked together with the help of the “AND” particle. The time frame applied will be the last five years, counting from 2023. After that, incomplete works or research, texts that are not within the theme of the work, and articles that address the investigation of the learning process in adults and in the University education.
