Abstract

The objective of this study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the national scientific production of theses, dissertations and articles on the interface – Dance and Autism – focusing on the following bibliometric parameters: areas of knowledge; geographical and institutional distribution; temporal distribution; goals; typology of the studies. In addition, a critical analysis was carried out to construct indicators of the production in question. The methodological procedure was based on the bibliometrics approach using Mendeley software to organize the data collected in virtual environments. In summary, the results presented four studies at the national level, with recent publications, between 2013 and 2015, and distributed in the central-west, southeast and northeast regions of the country. In general, the studies found aimed to analyze dance as a form of communication development, social and affective interaction and motor rehabilitation. They were based on the qualitative approach and, although in small number, they suggest the effectiveness of the dance as intervention and stimulation in the global development of children with autism.
