Importancia de la técnica de modelado para establecer habilidades sociales en niños con TEA en el aula.

Abstract

This research contemplates one of the neurological conditions found increasingly present in school contexts: children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Due to this increase in the numbers of boys and girls diagnosed with ASD and the symptoms and difficulties that characterize it, this research exposes the importance of implementing a psychological technique that allows these children to have the necessary tools to achieve the acquisition of social skills, which allow them to adapt in a school environment of mostly regular children, such is the case of most schools and colleges found in Ecuador. Therefore, in this methodological proposal the implementation of modeling is offered as a technique that points to self-regulation and motivation as essential psychological processes to achieve the production of learning through observation and imitation, observational learning. In addition, semistructured interviews with professionals in the areas of health and initial education show that self-regulation is really important to be able to harmonize their insertion into their natural environment hand in hand with motivation, since it is the interest of the autistic child that opens the clinical work. Through what the child does, we propose (model) what we expect from him.
