A INCLUSÃO DE CRIANÇAS COM TEA NO PROCESSO DE ENSINO APRENDIZAGEM

Abstract

Inclusion is not only a challenge for educators, it is also an opportunity for mutual learning, as diversity enriches us and makes us more tolerant and empathetic. Inclusive education is an opportunity to promote respect and equality among all. The inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) not only benefits the individual with this disorder, but also the entire society and educational community, which learn to value and respect differences and work collaboratively. Students with ASD can contribute significantly to the school environment, increasing diversity and enabling enriching learning for everyone. By having contact and coexistence with atypical peers, neurotypical children learn to respect differences and adapt to different forms of communication and interaction. For this contribution to be effective, the school must be prepared to receive and include students with ASD. Furthermore, the family can play an important role in finding appropriate instructions for a person with ASD, such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, behavioral therapy, among others. Family collaboration and involvement in these interventions can enhance development and positive results in the educational process. The strategic organization within the scope of learning must be inserted in an innovative and collaborative methodology, which makes it possible to access ideas related to motivation, attitude and affection when the student with ASD is inserted into the meaningful world of learning. The family must be involved in the student's school life, participating in meetings and conferences with parents and teachers, sharing important information about the student and their Specific Educational Needs (SEN). Considering that a child with ASD learns, however, at their own time, at their own pace and in a welcoming environment, it is necessary to provide a welcoming, safe, collaborative, playful school environment with practical and meaningful learning.
