One of the main challenges encountered in educating students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in regular schools is identifying effective teaching practices. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an interventional practice entitled Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), implemented by a teacher, in the academic and social performance of a student with ASD enrolled in the fourth grade class. A single subject quasi-experimental research design indicated increased frequency of teacher mediating behavior and advances in the student´s academic and social achievement following the EAM intervention.

Keywords : Autism; Pedagogic Mediation; School Inclusion.
