SUMMARY:

People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have difficulties in
communication, due to their impairments in both expressive and receptive
communication, for this reason, many resort to supplementary and/or alternative
communication strategies, supported by educational interventions aimed at teaching
relevant communication skills. These skills allow individuals with ASD to acquire
functional skills, control over and participate more effectively in their social
environments. There has been a significant increase in nationwide educational
enrollments for people with ASD, but the number of teachers with expertise in Behavior
Analysis and Alternative Communication remains relatively small. Alternative
Communication is a type of Assistive Technology, understood as a collection of
methods and techniques that facilitate communication, complementing or replacing
compromised or absent oral language. The objective of this research is to assess the
effectiveness of formative training for teachers in fostering skills for managing two
phases of the Adapted PECS system. For this purpose, the research will comprise two

studies. The first study is a systematic review of the literature on the types of
methodologies used for teaching Alternative Communication. Thirteen (13) studies
were identified, including the use of teaching procedures involving classroom training,
role-play, videos, modeling, feedback, among others. The second study, which is
currently in progress, involves the development of an online teaching program for
teachers, utilizing video instruction.
