SUMMARY:

The learning process of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is based on methodologies that can reach each child according to their needs and limitations. In this perspective, the use of Assistive Technology (AT) in the school environment becomes of great value for the creation of an adequate living space for these children, contributes to an innovative education, providing them with better quality of teaching, and, at the same time, enables the change of the traditional model of education focused only on the transmission of content. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of the use of assistive technology on the literacy development of children with ASD in elementary school I. The methodology used will be, as to the approach, a qualitative research, with semi-structured interviews. As for its nature, it is characterized as applied research and as for its objectives, it is characterized as exploratory. For data collection, questionnaires will be used for the interviews, audio recording, document analysis script and photographic record. In the theoretical foundation, a literature review was carried out, where 16 works were selected between articles and dissertations in the time frame from May 2019 to May 2024, where they revealed a trend towards the use of digital games, as a support AT to support the learning of children with ASD, along with the use of the TEACCH and phonic methods. The research also relies on the concepts of literacy by Magda Soares. The hypotheses of the research are that few regular school teachers are able to use AT in a school context due to lack of resources, guidance, collaboration of the SEA, little training in this area and crowded classrooms. As an educational resource for this research, an interactive e-book of guidelines will be created with AT proposals as a support to break barriers and assist in the literacy of students with ASD. The aforementioned e-book will feature proposals for the use of free digital games, access to Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) also in digital format and indication of low-tech AT (with a focus on Portuguese, mathematics and motor coordination) to assist in the inclusion and learning process of children with ASD in the classroom. The resource will be validated in a training workshop for teachers.
