BRITO, Lucelmo Lacerda de  and  ELIAS, Nassim Chamel. Repertoire of specialized educational service teachers on autism and Behavior Analysis. Rev. Educ. Espec. [online]. 2023, vol.36, e71273.  Epub June 24, 2024. ISSN 1984-686X.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984686x71273.

This research starts from the recognition of evidence-based practices, such as the applied principles of Behavior Analysis, as the most legitimate to pedagogically support the process of inclusion of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in school, once demonstrated as effective in producing behavior change. In this context, this research aimed to identify and analyze the repertoire in ASD and in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) of teachers who work in the Specialized Educational Service (AEE) in the North Coast of São Paulo. Quantitative and qualitative analyzes were used, based on data obtained through the application of a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of open and closed questions about the training process and the repertoire in ASD and ABA. Participants were 29 Multifunctional Resource Rooms (SRM) teachers. The results indicate that less than a quarter of the participants have an adequate definition of what ASD is and none have knowledge about ABA.

Keywords : Specialized Educational Service; Autism Spectrum Disorder; Applied Behavior Analysis.
