INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES ON AUTISM: CHALLENGES AND EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES IN MULTI-PROFESSIONAL APPROACHES

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effects of interdisciplinary and multiprofessional educational strategies on the development of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is an integrative literature review carried out on the MEDLINE, LILACS, IBECS, BDENF and Index Psicologia databases between April and May 2025. Articles published between 2020 and 2025 were selected, with well-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results show that interventions such as the DHACA Method, the CI-RIT model, the use of assistive technologies and collaborative training with robots promote significant improvements in communication, social inclusion and the behavioral repertoire of participants. Joint action between health, education and family professionals proved to be effective in enhancing cognitive, social and emotional development. It can be concluded that interdisciplinary and multi-professional approaches offer concrete benefits in promoting equity and inclusion for individuals with ASD, although challenges remain regarding the standardization of practices and their dissemination in public health and education systems.
