Um estudo bibliográfico de aplicativos educacionais voltados para crianças com TEA

Abstract

This study presents a literature review on the use of educational applications as tools to support the inclusion of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the school context. The research explores how Assistive Technology (AT) and mobile resources contribute to the development of cognitive, communicative, and social skills. Twelve applications focused on literacy and alternative communication were analyzed based on criteria such as accessibility, usability, pedagogical strategy, and expert evaluation. The results indicate that the analyzed applications have the potential to promote students’ autonomy and engagement, although challenges such as the scientific validation of tools and access to technological infrastructure still limit their full effectiveness. This study contributes to understanding the possibilities and limitations of digital technology in inclusive education, suggesting guidelines for improving and personalizing these resources.
