Abstract

Objective: Discuss the main aspects related to school inclusion of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), focusing on early intervention strategies and teacher training.

Methods: Narrative review of national and international scientific literature, focusing on studies from 2009 to 2022 about inclusive practices and public policies for the education of students with autism.

Discussion: It was evident that early intervention, combined with continuous teacher training and family involvement, constitutes a fundamental tripod for the implementation of inclusive educational processes. The literature also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and pedagogical adaptations.

Conclusion: The consolidation of a truly inclusive school requires structural, pedagogical, and policy changes based on actively listening to the needs of students with ASD and the commitment of educational agents and public managers.
