Desafios dos professores acerca do transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) em alunos: reflexões sobre inclusão e formação docente na educação básica

This article aims to analyze, through a literature review, the main challenges faced by teachers in including students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the school environment. The study follows a qualitative and descriptive approach and is based on academic publications identified through the literature search. The reviewed studies indicate that the main difficulties are related to teachers’ specific training, limitations in school infrastructure, the shortage of adapted teaching resources, and insufficient institutional and family support. The analysis suggests that effective inclusion requires differentiated teaching practices, planning, professional development, and collaborative work among schools, families, and support professionals. It concludes that continuing teacher education is important for understanding the particular needs of each student with ASD and developing strategies that support learning and social participation. The study also highlights the importance of public policies and institutional conditions that sustain inclusive education.
