Condición del espectro autista en el aula inclusiva

The problem that prompted this research is the problem of students on the autism spectrum and their functioning in the inclusive classroom. The overall objective was to create an environment where students with autism can interact and learn alongside their peers, promoting diversity and mutual understanding. The methodology employed in this research is cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative, utilizing the analysis-synthesis, historical-logical, and deductive-inductive methods. Using the survey technique that was directed to the diverse students of the "Lo Sobrenatural de Dios" Foundation, in addition to conducting them also to the teaching staff and various specialists such as psychologists, pedagogues and neuroeducators, also to the parents in the case of some students and in others to the respective legal guardians, being able to highlight the great need for a more effective and accurate inclusion at all levels of education and from diverse ages and environments, it is worth highlighting the enormous need for assiduous, permanent and constant training in accordance with the changes required and demanded by information and communication technologies. This work concludes that inclusion is a joint and multidisciplinary task of teamwork. Inclusive education for students with autism, although presenting challenges, offers numerous benefits both for them and their peers, improving social skills and promoting a culture of acceptance and diversity in the classroom. It is crucial that teachers are trained and sensitized to adapt the educational environment and pedagogical strategies to the individual needs of each student with autism, including adapting materials and creating safe spaces. It is characterized by flexibility, accommodation of diversity, and the promotion of active participation of all students. Inclusive education is a pedagogical approach that seeks to ensure that all students have access to quality education and feel valued and respected in their educational environment.
