Guía de actividades para estimular la atención en un estudiante con trastorno del espectro autista

Abstract

This research focuses on the stimulation of attention as a cognitive process through an activity guide for a student with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) level two of the ninth year of EGB of the "Unidad Educativa Especial del Azuay". The research is based on a qualitative approach, based on the single case study method. Information was collected through various techniques and instruments such as field diaries, semi-structured interviews, literature review and assessment scales on attention; in addition, data analysis and interpretation techniques were used to characterize, describe and reflect on the state of attention in the student with ASD, and in correspondence with the strengths and needs presented by the student, the intervention proposal was designed. The intervention proposal developed aims to stimulate the cognitive ability of attention, with the purpose of promoting better participation and performance in various academic and daily life activities. The activities designed in the proposal consider the needs and potentialities of the student, which combined with the game and dynamism allow the stimulation of this important cognitive process in an optimal way.
