Key behaviors (sit, lie down, stay, come, focus, and dice manipulation) were taught using positive reinforcement within an experimental design. The dog achieved success rates above 80% for all behaviors, with the "stay" command reaching 5 minutes and 55 seconds in a controlled environment and 4 minutes and 52 seconds in an uncontrolled environment, demonstrating generalization. Dice manipulation was successful, with 80-90% success rates, indicating potential for complex therapeutic activities. The findings reinforce the effectiveness of experimental behavior analysis in training therapy dogs, emphasizing the importance of ethical practices that prioritize animal welfare. The research contributes to the professionalization of Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT), with implications for psychology, ethology, and interdisciplinary interventions for ASD.

Autor(es): Silveira, Karolaine Santos Deleprani Primeiro Orientador: Ferreira, Paulo Roberto dos Santos Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the components of the Skills Teaching Package (STP) in producing learning of mand teaching behaviors in caregivers of individuals with ASD. The components included in the skills teaching package are: Instruction, Modeling, Behavioral Rehearsal/Modeling, and Feedback. For the analysis, these components were used in training conditions with four different mand types: item mand, help mand, information mand, and action mand. Three children with ASD and their mothers participated in the study. The experimental design was a multiple baseline across participants, evaluating the effectiveness of each STP component in isolation. The dependent variable was the correctness of the caregivers' application of the STP, while the independent variable was the isolated application of the STP components. The results indicate that isolated training with the STP components led to a significant increase in caregivers' overall performance in applying the STP. Some variations were observed in the participants' learning speed of each component. Specifically, the immediate feedback condition proved particularly effective. The study also suggests a generalized learning effect of the BST components, while highlighting important individual differences in which BST components are most effective in each case.

Authors representing classical and contemporary cultural-historical psychology have made important contributions to the study of education and the conception of disabilities, based on defectology studies. From cultural-historical psychology, we understand that people are made up of social relationships that present psychic development as a historical process, socially and culturally implicated in effective relationships, helping us to understand it as a broad and complex process. By presenting aspects of human development, considering sexuality and gender constructions as the starting point for this research. Universities should be considered as spaces that generate experiences and produce human subjectivities and, as such, are an environment for the development of the sexuality of their students. Thus, the general aim of this work is to present theoretical contributions to help understand how students with disabilities experience and perceive the development of sexuality and gender issues at a public university in Mato Grosso do Sul. To this end, this dissertation has been divided into four articles in order to understand important aspects of the development of the research: Introduction to cultural-historical psychology, conceptualization of sexuality, gender and disability; Inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education and institutional arrangements: an exploratory study; Inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education, relations between inclusion, gender and sexuality: a bibliographical study; Experiences and subjective productions by students at a higher education institution: a case 6 study. In order to construct the studies, a bibliographical survey was carried out, the results of which showed that studies intersecting gender, sexuality and inclusion are incipient in Brazil. Through documentary research, we identified which strategies the Higher Education Institution makes available so that the issue can be addressed in different contexts, such as teaching, research and extension activities, etc. In addition, we identified the strategies used by the students to deal with demands related to sexuality and gender during their undergraduate studies and, consequently, how they affect their social lives. The research methodology combined qualitative research, exploratory research, a bibliographical study and a case study using cultural-historical theory as a theoretical basis. Finally, we seek to understand how the constitution of these subjects, in their historical, social and cultural context, has shaped the way they experience these experiences in Higher Education, considering that the intersections of gender constructions impact in different ways on experiences in these social spaces of development.

This study investigates the impact of access to personal documentation on the exercise of citizenship among individuals residing in the border region of Sete Quedas/MS, an area marked by exclusion and social invisibility. It is a qualitative and exploratory research that seeks to analyze the narratives of people who face barriers in obtaining essential documents, relating these accounts to the concepts of social memory, citizenship, and miscegenation. The main objective is to examine how the presence or absence of documentation influences citizenship and cultural identities in border contexts. Semi-structured interviews were used as the data collection method, with a questionnaire applied in ten face-to-face interviews. The main findings revealed that, in addition to bureaucratic difficulties, discriminatory processes directly affect access to citizenship and reinforce feelings of exclusion. The research highlights the importance of ensuring access to personal documentation in order to promote social recognition and inclusion, especially in border areas.
