Abstract

Understanding the inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is essential for promoting educational practices that ensure the right to quality education, respecting diversity and addressing the specific needs of each student, thus contributing to the formation of a more just and inclusive society. In this context, this article addresses the theme of inclusive schooling for students with ASD, exploring its possibilities, resources, and the need for curricular adaptation and flexibility. Through a literature review, the study discusses the challenges faced in school inclusion, highlighting the importance of teacher training and the role of the school community in creating a welcoming and respectful educational environment. Additionally, creative and collaborative learning methodologies are analyzed, as well as the use of assistive technologies as fundamental tools for promoting the active participation of students with ASD. The conclusions of this study highlight the urgency of inclusive educational practices that meet the specific needs of these students and emphasize the importance of a joint effort between educators, families, and the community to ensure quality and equitable education for all.
