Curricular intervention protocol for teaching learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder: an integrative review

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to conduct an integrative review of scientific papers indexed in national and international databases on curricular intervention protocols, which favor the linguistic aspects, translated and cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese for the teaching of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Methods:

a survey of scientific studies indexed in Pubmed, Portal Regional da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Web of Science, Scopus and ERIC databases was carried out from February to March 2018. Papers in English and Portuguese language of the last 20 years on the proposed theme were selected. The inclusion criteria used were: to be a school curricular intervention protocol that favors the linguistic aspects; to be directed to learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder; to be translated and cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese.

Results:

214 papers were analyzed revealing the lack of studies on the topic. These data indicate a gap in national basic education, which may corroborate the low qualitative aspects of inclusive education in the country. The Collaborative Model for Promoting Competence and Success for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder enables a more effective teaching of learners with autism, since this protocol empowers teachers in curricular adaptation to also develop the language skills and overcome the educational challenges of the students with this condition.

Conclusion:

the Brazilian scenario is that of absent instruments, which may interfere with the quality of inclusive education in Brazil.
