Literature has shown a large gap in studies aiming to establish an echoic in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the collection of research aimed at teaching echoic in individuals with ASD. The review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematics Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) model. The search, of all occurrences, without time limit, until the year 2018, was performed in the Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, ERIC and PsichINFO database. The keywords and boolean operators autism [or] autist [or] autistic [and] echoic [and] verbal behavior were adopted. The inclusion criteria were articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish that established echoic as a dependent variable in interventions with people with ASD, present a single subject experimental design and demonstrate the data of the echoic acquisition during the teaching sessions. As a result, 338 articles were found and, with the application of the inclusion criteria, three were selected. The results corroborate the data in the literature that point out the deficit of studies to establish echoic as the main target of teaching in people with ASD. Most studies adopt echoic as a prompt for establishing other verbal behavior. Even if scarce, the articles indicate the effects of different procedures under the acquisition of the echoic behavior in people with ASD and with diversified initial repertories.

Keywords : Autism; Teaching; Language; Echoic; Literature Review.
