Abstract

Objective: To report the case of a child with Autistic Spectrum Disorder facing multidisciplinary care for special and inclusive education. Case report: L. I. S. B., male, born at term cesarean delivery. During pregnancy, the mother did not present any complications, but at three years of age the parents realized the difficulty the child had in speech and socialization. After careful evaluation, we reached the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. In the midst of the family impact caused by the outcome of the investigation, the infant was continuously followed up by a multidisciplinary team that counted with a psychologist, speech pathologist, pediatric neurological doctor and occupational therapist. The child entered the school at the age of three, but faced numerous challenges such as the resistance of the board of directors to receive it, because the unprepared professionals prevented it from having access to education. Conclusion: It is revealed the need for greater preparation of the professionals of the education in the conviviality with autistic child, as evidencing their ignorance and certain prejudice in the relationship experienced at the beginning. The qualification of teachers and other professionals, as well as adequate infrastructure through the supply of necessary inputs to the progress of the child with the disorder are essential to teaching-learning.
