Formação docente para inclusão de alunos com transtorno do espectro autista

Abstract

Teacher training for accommodating students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is crucial for equipping educators to meet the specific needs of these students, fostering an inclusive and effective learning environment. This process involves in-depth knowledge of autism, including its characteristics and variations, as well as adapted pedagogical and communication strategies. Educators must learn to identify each student's strengths and challenges, using individualized approaches that support cognitive and social development. Continuous professional development is essential for teachers to stay updated on new methodologies and research, ensuring evidence based educational practices. This study analyzes the importance of teacher training in the reception and inclusion of students with ASD in regular education, employing a bibliographic review as the methodology. It concludes that robust and ongoing teacher training is vital to ensure quality education that respects the needs of students and promotes their full inclusion in the school community
