The inclusion of students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in mainstream schooling represents a fundamental goal, which can be effectively achieved only through the implementation of evidence-based educational practices capable of guiding interventions toward meaningful and sustainable outcomes (Cottini, 2018). This study therefore aims to examine the issue of school inclusion for students with a diagnosis of ASD, by analyzing educational practices, teaching methodologies, and intervention strategies that foster active participation in school life. The first chapter provides a comprehensive description of the disorder, highlighting its historical and clinical characteristics, as well as the main communicative, relational, behavioral, and cognitive challenges associated with it. The second chapter then explores evidence-based intervention strategies that research has demonstrated to be particularly effective in promoting inclusion, such as the ABA method, the TEACCH program, and interventions based on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Special attention is given to the organization of the learning environment, collaboration between school and family, and the role of peers. The third chapter focuses on the principal challenges encountered in everyday school practice and proposes potential solutions grounded in scientific literature. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of a genuinely inclusive education that values diversity as a resource, offering insights and practical tools to support inclusion for teachers, educators, and professionals working in the field.
L’inclusione scolastica degli alunni con diagnosi di Disturbo dello Spettro dell’Autismo rappresenta un obiettivo fondamentale, che può essere perseguito in modo efficace solo attraverso l’impiego di pratiche educative supportate da evidenze scientifiche, in grado di orientare gli interventi verso esiti realmente significativi e sostenibili (Cottini, 2018). Questo elaborato si pone, perciò, l’obiettivo di esaminare il tema dell’inclusione scolastica degli alunni con diagnosi di disturbo dello spettro dell’autismo, analizzando pratiche educative, metodologie didattiche e strategie di intervento che favoriscano la partecipazione attiva di questi studenti nella vita scolastica. Il primo capitolo affronta la descrizione del disturbo, mettendone in evidenza caratteristiche storiche, cliniche e le principali difficoltà comunicative, relazionali, comportamentali e cognitive che lo caratterizzano. Proseguendo, con il secondo capitolo verranno analizzate le strategie di intervento evidence-based che la letteratura ha dimostrato essere particolarmente efficaci nel promuovere l’inclusione, come il metodo ABA, il programma TEACCH e gli interventi basati sulla Comunicazione Aumentativa Alternativa. E’ qui riservata particolare attenzione all’importanza della strutturazione dell’ambiente, della collaborazione scuola- famiglia e del ruolo dei pari. Il terzo capitolo, infine, verterà sulle principali criticità riscontrate nella pratica scolastica quotidiana, suggerendo possibili soluzioni basate sull’analisi della letteratura scientifica. In conclusione, questo elaborato dimostra l’importanza di un’educazione realmente inclusiva che valorizzi la diversità come risorsa, fornendo spunti e strumenti utili a favorire l’inclusione a insegnanti, educatori e operatori del settore.

Abstract
The inclusion of students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in mainstream schooling represents a fundamental goal, which can be effectively achieved only through the implementation of evidence-based educational practices capable of guiding interventions toward meaningful and sustainable outcomes (Cottini, 2018). This study therefore aims to examine the issue of school inclusion for students with a diagnosis of ASD, by analyzing educational practices, teaching methodologies, and intervention strategies that foster active participation in school life. The first chapter provides a comprehensive description of the disorder, highlighting its historical and clinical characteristics, as well as the main communicative, relational, behavioral, and cognitive challenges associated with it. The second chapter then explores evidence-based intervention strategies that research has demonstrated to be particularly effective in promoting inclusion, such as the ABA method, the TEACCH program, and interventions based on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Special attention is given to the organization of the learning environment, collaboration between school and family, and the role of peers. The third chapter focuses on the principal challenges encountered in everyday school practice and proposes potential solutions grounded in scientific literature. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of a genuinely inclusive education that values diversity as a resource, offering insights and practical tools to support inclusion for teachers, educators, and professionals working in the field.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
