A inclusão de estudantes com transtorno do espectro autista

Abstract

This research aims to understand the inclusion process of students with ASD from the implementation of NAPNE of the Federal Institute of Goiás. To this end, we describe the historical course of Professional Education in Brazil, aiming at the presentation of the facts that demarcated its construction from Colonial Brazil to the present day; we conducted a bibliographic survey on the Autism Spectrum Disorder, considering issues related to the first discoveries about autism, the etiology, the main symptoms, the importance of early diagnosis and the development possibilities provided by different types of interventions; finally, we proceed ed with a reflection on how the actions of NAPNEs affect the process of schooling of people with disabilities in the PTE, identifying the limits and possibilities of access and permanence of students with ASD in the IFG, according to the perceptions of the managers of these nuclei. The methodological path consists of a bibliographic review and documentary analysis, of qualitative approach, as well as a field research, conducted from semi-structured interviews, thus resulting in the construction of the educational product entitled Information Booklet to Support for the School Community: Autism Spectrum Disorder - ASD and Inclusion in IFG. The results show us that there are several challenges and obstacles faced by IFG NAPNEs, and there is an emerging need to understand and implement public policies that deal with the Specialized Educational Attendance (SEA). It was also found, both in theoretical studies and in field research, the need to expand investments in human and financial resources in inclusive actions within the IFG.
