Abstract

Purpose Identify and describe the difficulties and the value assigned to their work by teachers. Methods The study included 51 teachers from mainstream and special schools who had children with ASD among their students. A classification type questionnaire was answered by teachers about the role they play in relation to the student, the difficulties and skills that the teacher has in relation to the student, communication strategies used by both behaviors and interests of children observed by the teacher. Results: The teachers responded that their influence was mainly related to communication and interpersonal relationships, difficulties were mainly related to learning, communication and behavior of the child. They felt that the school offers enough support for your work, but there is very little support from other professionals and lack of appropriate teaching technology. Conclusion Thus, it is concluded that teachers are unprepared to teach these students and need to be better educated and receive more support from other professionals, and thus can provide a better education for children with ASD.
