Abstract

This work aims to analyze three different mobile applications that are proposed to assist in the educational process of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The apps are: ABC Autism, Aiello and SCAI Autism. The applications adopt premises of three different protocols: TEACCH, ABA and PECS respectively, having in common the great visual appeal, such as colors and sounds, thus giving the possibility of the child to interact better with the content worked. The analysis was done, initially, with the study of these applications and the theses that validated them and of published articles. With this work, it is hoped to contribute so that the education professionals can demystify the use of the technology and use it in their daily life, as a tool partner of the education and not as an obstacle.
