Desenvolvimento de um jogo para crianças com autismo dos 5 – 12 anos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem (caso de estudo: Escola Woodrose Internacional School – Nyoxane)

Abstract

Education is widely recognized as the main means of ensuring the development of societies. The challenges faced by these communities need to be identified, analyzed and, whenever possible, mitigated or eliminated through reliable research. The present work aims to use information and communication technologies to help children with autism in the teaching and learning process, that is, to help in their social interaction, as well as in their communication. The work was developed using the Woodrose International School – Nyoxane as a case study, since the city of Maputo in particular has a deficit of institutions that help special children. And Nyoxane is a teaching and learning school where its main focus is the inclusion of all special children. A study was therefore carried out at Nyoxane with the aim of collecting the necessary data to frame Mozambican society in the use of ICT-based games.
