Autism in the Classroom. Beyond Diagnosis

Abstract

Despite countless studies, we continue to face serious difficulties in making education accessible to people with ASD. The difficulties associated with this disorder, make autism spectrum disorder a challenge to the educational community.

This article presents an educational experience with students with ASD through the use of the Adapted Learning Program for the Global Integration of the Individual (PAAIGI). A therapeutic program that moves into the classroom to provide a comprehensive response to the needs of people with ASD. Behavior, body, communication and school curriculum make up a unique reality that requires individualized interventions in all contexts.
