ABSTRACT
Conceptually, autism spectrum disorder is shaped a disability linked to neurodevelopmental developmental disorders, regarding to the information transmission through the functional system of gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABAergic system, which is observed throughout deficits in the communication area, social interaction and restrictive behaviours, as defined by the International Classification of Diseases (DSM-5) of the American Psychiatric Association (2013) (APA). This study analyzed the implementation of greater or lesser intensity in applying regarding four teaching-learning models will be able encourage the overall development of this diagnostic group. Results showed that educational models based on projects, through the higher intensity of cooperative learning among peers, combined with a partial support process, increased the cognitive and curricular development of this population, which, in fact, was observed in the critical levels of significance tested through Kruskal-Wallis Test analysis.
KEY WORDS:
