Educação especial: o ensino da matemática para alunos com transtornos espectro autista no ensino básico

Abstract

The present work aims to investigate the best methodological proposals to contribute to the understanding and learning of mathematics by autistic students in the early years, and the context of the problem is the discussion about the potential of new activities with appropriate teaching materials for autistic students, these that can contribute to the understanding and learning of mathematical logic in the early years. The study methodology consists of a literature search in the form of a literature review. This research outlines an important reflection on the investigation on the development of mathematical skills of students with ASD, given that people with Autism Spectrum Disorder have deficits related to social interaction, communication and language and learning difficulties. As a result of the investigation, it was pointed out the need to work with different pedagogical resources, which involve a multitude of teaching materials, as well as the most varied teaching approaches and methodologies, such as the TEACCH method, ABA, PECS, Floor Time and so many others.
