Abstract

Autism is one of the topics that has been discussed in the Brazilian educational field, this issue has raised interest both by education professionals, parents and guardians of these autistic children, as well as by government sectors responsible for implementing inclusive policies in school and society. The general objective of this work is to understand the challenges of including children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder in regular and mainstream schools. And as specific objectives: to understand how the teacher develops the learning of autistic students. The research will be bibliographic, with a systematic observation and a qualitative descriptive approach. The use of a bibliographical research will make it possible for the researcher to access materials that have already been written about the subject under investigation. It will be based on Brazilian legislation, the Federal Constitution of 1988, the Law of Directives and Bases of Education, Law 12.764/2012, which is the autistic protection law, thinkers such as ROTTA (2007), MAZZOTTA (2011) among others. To accomplish this investigative research, we seek to evaluate significant changes in the school environment that favor the socio-affective development of students with special needs. In this sense, we seek to verify if the education professionals have adequate training to meet these students and which methodologies are used for their teaching-learning.
