Brazilian laws throughout educational history present the inclusion of people with disabilities as a challenge to be overcome in quality education for all. However, there are notes in the literature indicating that teacher education and conditions in school practices are not suitable for it, especially in day care centers. Thus, this research aimed to elaborate, develop and evaluate the results of a training course for daycare teachers for practices for students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder in the presential and distance modalities. It is hypothesized that an individualized didactic model that incorporates fundamental aspects for teacher education for inclusive education is possible to replicate in differentiated and effective educational models for use by/for teachers. To this, a qualitative research was conducted, applied nature and with exploratory objectives in person and, then, in a distance education model. In both formations, the Personalized Instruction System (PSI) was used as a didactic model. The results indicated that the didactic model proved to be effective for the training of daycare teachers from both perspectives of the educational models. Finally, it is concluded that the elaboration of a course based on the knowledge of teachers' demand, the use of multimedia resources, the division of contents into small stages and progressive evaluations of the student-teacher repertoire represents an important resource for teacher training for inclusion of children with ASD, both in person face-to-face and in the distance education model.
