RIGHT TO BASIC EDUCATION FOR PERSONS WITH AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD)

The article discusses access to basic education for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which is proving to be a major challenge for the country. Children and adolescents with ASD need special accommodations in public and private schools, especially in basic education, which is not happening in reality. The discussion is permeated by documentary and bibliographic research methodology, which sought to analyze the historicity of inclusive education, as well as its incorporation into the legal system and the relationship of this institute from the perspective of access to basic education for children with ASD. We also present the discrepancy between the legislation of Law No. 12764/2012 and Law No. 13146/2015 and the corresponding constitutional principles, pointing out that the right to quality basic education, although guaranteed by the State, is not operationalized in the Brazilian reality.
