Abstract

This work is a participatory research in form of case studies, which involved collection procedures and data analysis of a qualitative nature. With the policy of inclusive education, teaching children and youth with disabilities is being held in the common schools. However, ensuring the registration of these students does not guarantee, in practice, the positive realization of this right. The lack of preparedness of schools and teachers who work in it are still facing the alarming number of students enrolled. We realize that a lack of evaluation of public policies for inclusive education which are then taken to the consistent implementation of services. This study aimed to evaluate a program of in-service training for teachers of early grades, to develop basic skills for the care of children with pervasive developmental disorder. The specific objectives were: 1. Meet, discuss and describe the process of training of teachers and support conductor who work with autistic children, 2. To promote, expand and / or improve the skills of teachers of students with IGT through a continuing education program, with direct participation in classroom 3. Develop, implement and evaluate a training program for teachers. The results presented in this study showed that the best way to care and the inclusion of children with disabilities, in this case, the autistic student, is the education of teachers in service, given the complexity of the syndrome. We conclude that, teamwork and recognition of the roles and functions of teachers, coordinators and director, are fundamental to the work happen. Finally, we show the great need and relevance of professional expertise within the school context, so, make the teacher and the school as a whole, information pertinent to each area.
