A psicopedagogia como fator de influência na inclusão e na avaliação da aprendizagem de crianças com transtorno do espectro do autismo

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder is considered a syndrome that requests an accurate diagnosis. It is a chronic condition with difficulties in development which can be observed by the age of 3 andpersist for a lifetime. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the psychopedagogists’ performance concerning assessment of learning and educational inclusion for students with autism spectrum disorder, in order to motivate the development of their potentialities. Swelling (2000), Carvalho and Cuzin (2008), Cunha (2000), among others proposed a theoretical framework to this study. Psychopedagogists can collaborate in a decisive way on the school inclusion of students’ with autism, acting for the development of their language, their social relationships and their learning.
