Abstract

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to analyze supports offered to Catalan young adults with Intellectual Disability (ID) and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Brazilian context, with the purpose of discussing the offer of public programs focused on people with disabilities, especially at the end of the schooling process. For this, evaluations were applied with Brazilian young adult students with ID and/or ASD to characterize their levels of support and schooling intensities, as well as interviews with Catalan professionals who identified support that could be useful for the educational reality of the participants involved in the study. Thus, the disparity between the two realities was evidenced, demonstrating the need for the development of normative and institutionalization of support for this public, especially in the transition from High School to adult and independent life, in addition to continuing education for teachers and the involvement of interdisciplinary professionals in the school context to provide effective support to students.
