Análise e comparação das condições de inclusão, capacitação profissional e adaptação escolar para crianças classificadas com transtorno do espectro autista

Abstract

IIntroduction: Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) should receive an efficient and comprehensive inclusive education in schools. Objective: To verify and compare autistic school inclusion in public and private schools. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, evaluative, observational and comparative study between a public and a private study, involving six students with supposed diagnosis of ASD. Executed by two trained researchers applying the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) scale and three structured fact sheets (FEs) on professional information, parental personal data and school physical adaptation, lasting 15 minutes per application. Results: It was observed that all children had autism before the application of CARS. EF applied to school institutions indicated whether or not there are adjustments for the ideal integration of autistic children, with favorable results for their insertion. The teachers' FE revealed that the average working time is higher in the public school. Conclusion: it was possible to identify that there is a need to invest more in professional training to offer a more adequate inclusion of autistic children in the school environment.
