Abstract
Objective: Analyzing the challenges in the process of inclusive education for children with autism spectrum disorder. Methods: This is a descriptive study, of the type of integrative literature review, conducted in the databases LILACS, MEDLINE (via VHL) e SCIELO, based on the keywords: "autism", "inclusion" and "school". Results: Fifty-four articles were recovered, and only 7 constituted the final sample. The articles used are from studies developed in Brazil, Australia and Zimbabwe, and showed that the challenges in the process of inclusive education for children with ASD are mainly related to structural characteristics of schools, lack of adequate teaching technology and lack of qualification of teachers to serve this public. Final considerations: The process of school inclusion of children with ASD imposes the need for adaptations in the school environment, about the physical structure of the school and the number of students per class, as well as about the training of teachers to deal with these children and adopt pedagogical strategies that facilitate their learning.
