Uso de tecnologias na alfabetização de autistas

Abstract

This research aims to show up different alternatives of teaching children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) how to read and write, through a range of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), considering each autism dispersal and introspection degree. Applications and multiple technologies are going to be put in practice throughout activities with two students who have ASD and study at State Elementary School Aldo Porto dos Santos, located in Cachoeira do Sul countryside. Assistive technology is used as an instrument to promote social inclusion and accessibility to students with intellectual disability. Technological activities have the power of motivating them to learn, resulting in social contacts and interactions which can help them creating affective bonds. Games and apps allow children with ASD to choose when and where they feel comfortable to interact, observing their own levels, enabling them to achieve a learning growth, building knowledge and constant evolution.
