THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FAMILY'S ROLE IN THE INCLUSION PROCESS OF CHILDREN WITH ASD IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This research aims to investigate how the importance of the family's role in the process of including children with ASD in the school environment contributes to the creation of a more welcoming and effective environment, thus favoring the development and active participation of these autistic students. This work is based on (Carvalho and Shaw, 2021) and (Silva and Menezes, 2022). The research approach is qualitative and descriptive, and it was conducted at a public school in the municipality of Amaraji, located in the Zona da Mata region of the state of Pernambuco. The research subjects were two teachers, P1 and P2. The school is located in a neighborhood slightly further from the city center, where most of these students are low-income. During this study, it was observed that the inclusion of these autistic students is not solely the responsibility of the school and the family, but rather a joint involvement, in which the student finds better conditions for their full development. The relevant data were collected clearly and objectively, aiming to find possible results. This hypothesis was confirmed as teachers reported that the partnership between family and school helps to solve problems in a more fluid and expressive way, thus strengthening the supportive relationship between both parties.
