Suporte visual digital para estudantes com transtorno do espectro autista: um mapeamento sistemático da literatura

Abstract

Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents itself as an adverse condition in two main domains: communication and social interaction, as well as the adoption of restrictive and repetitive behavioral patterns. Individuals with this condition must receive educational and therapeutic interventions early, promoting adequate support since ASD is not a disease but a neurodivergence and, therefore, has no cure. In this context, combining visual support with technology gave rise to Digital Visual Support, a valuable tool that provides greater autonomy for students with ASD in carrying out their activities. This research investigates through Systematic Mapping of the Literature, considering the last four years, the Digital Visual Support tools that support students with ASD, the evaluation criteria for using these tools, and particularly, which skills are enhanced in students with the disorder. At the end of the mapping process, 13 primary studies were selected and categorized. This study contributes to the understanding and creation of new Digital Visual Support tools that assist in the learning process, promoting improvements in the quality of student’s education.
