Abstract
This case study presents the analysis of a clinical case of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The investigation included a developmental assessment, a cognitive and behavioral profile, as well as an analysis of social and linguistic skills. The intervention was based on methods such as ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) and TEACCH, aimed at promoting self-regulation, social and communication skills. Adaptations were made to the school environment and support was given to the family, with significant progress observed in the subject’s behavior and social integration. This study illustrates the importance of an interdisciplinary and personalized approach to the effective monitoring of children with ASD.
