Abstract

This study understands Psychopedagogy with the qualification based on observation and analysis to recognize the difficulties related to learning, contemplating the specificities of the individual and considering their intervention in the symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Studies show that psychopedagogical work focused on the intervention of learning difficulties in ASD aims to stimulate the development of executive functions, which are important for cognitive, social development, and consequently for the teaching-learning process. Given this context, this study aims to analyze the undergraduate thesis produced in the undergraduate course in Psychopedagogy at the Federal University of Paraíba, on Autism Spectrum Disorder, through a systematic review. The following question was adopted: What is the panorama of studies developed in the undergraduate course in Psychopedagogy on Autism Spectrum Disorder? To obtain the data, a search was carried out in the database of the aforementioned University. In the first stage of the search, 180 works were found. In the second stage, 12 undergraduate thesis were selected, considering the criteria established in this study. In the third stage, the selected papers were read in full and analyzed, and three categories were established, considering the themes addressed in the studies: school, intervention, and family. The analysis of the studies contemplates that the inclusion of students with ASD, together with the training of teachers and other appropriate professionals, as well as curricular adaptations and interventions, still need improvement, and the participation of the family in this context is of utmost importance for the defense of the rights of their children and continuous learning.
