IMPLICATIONS OF ABA-BASED THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT IN THE SCHOOL INCLUSION OF AUTISTIC CHILDREN: A LITERATURE REVIEW.

School inclusion still faces challenges in its daily implementation. In order to present how therapeutic support based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can assist in the school inclusion of autistic children, a literature review was conducted on the origin of therapeutic support, aiming to identify its importance in school inclusion, as well as a brief overview of autism and the implications of Behavior Analysis in practices to facilitate the learning of individuals with autism. It is concluded that the work of the therapeutic companion (TC) with the assistance of ABA can contribute to the promotion of school inclusion for autistic children. The study suggests further research on the impact of the presence of TC in the inclusion process of autistic children and encourages the expansion of studies in Applied Behavior Analysis to enhance the understanding of supporting autistic children in educational environments.
