School inclusion of a student with autism: different times of listening, intervention and learning

Abstract

This experience report discusses the work with an autistic student and his career in early literacy. It also relates the challenges, practices developed and some aspects of the progress of their inclusion in the school with the issues we had, the difficulties encountered and the strategies of work created. In this context, it is significant to report the learning process not only the student but also of the characters involved - parents, teacher, school - which reveal moments of restlessness, mutual reflection and construction of new knowledge. This paper highlights the experience of listening as something transformative, for all characters involved in the process through which it is possible to get close, create, become someone else to build a new way of thinking and acting. Thus, the account of this experience is important precisely because they indicate the construction of some ways in this work in inclusive school.
