SUMMARY:

Developed through the Professional Master's Program in Inclusive Education in a National Network (PROFEI), at the Federal University of Rondônia, Ji-Paraná Campus, this dissertation aims, in general, to analyze the contributions of a teacher training course in assisting teachers and aides of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in regular classrooms. The specific objectives are: a) to identify the educational profile of the teachers; b) to describe the teachers' knowledge regarding the theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical aspects involved in the schooling of students with ASD, before and after the course; c) to discuss the challenges faced by teachers and their main training needs to better serve students with ASD in regular classrooms; d) to develop a teacher training course focusing on ASD. e) reflect on the contributions of the training action in helping to overcome and/or minimize the challenges faced by teachers in supporting students with ASD. The investigation was anchored in theoretical frameworks on teacher training and the schooling of students with ASD, as well as empirical research on the topic conducted in recent years. The research, with a qualitative approach and an interventionist nature, was carried out in 2025 at a public school in the municipality of Rondolândia, Mato Grosso. Two teachers and a development assistant who worked with students with ASD in a third-grade elementary school class participated. The data collection instruments included an identification form, semi-structured interviews, participant observation, a case study sheet, a field notebook, and a training assessment instrument. Based on the training needs presented by the participants, a training program with a total duration of 16 hours was conducted, covering knowledge about ASD, restricted stimulus control, Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), and curriculum adaptations. In addition, an educational product in the form of a booklet was developed, using accessible language, containing guidance and educational content aimed at supporting students with ASD in school. The results of the investigation show that the participants had few training opportunities focused on special education and that the training allowed them to expand their knowledge about Autism Spectrum Disorder, reorganize the classroom environment and practices, as well as make some adaptations to academic activities for students with ASD.
