Um olhar sensível: estudo preliminar de um centro de apoio a crianças autistas na cidade de Campina Grande - PB.

Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder with early onset in childhood, with a chronic course, multifactorial causes and an etiology that, to date, has been inconclusive. In this regard, children who have ASD have peculiar behaviors and aspects that depend on the diagnosis obtained by the doctor. ASD is increasingly present in our society, such that there is still a great lack of preparation and a certain difficulty for people to know how to deal with the subject in regular schools. Therefore, the present work will demonstrate the basis regarding the elaboration of a preliminary study of a Support Center for Autistic Children, located in the city of Campina Grande - PB, without the intention of replacing conventional schools, but serving as a support to these children, with treatment and therapy sectors, leisure and educational sectors, among others.
