Importância das brincadeiras lúdicas para o desenvolvimento de habilidades em crianças com autismo na primeira infância

Abstract

Playing is the essence of childhood, since the child's birth, the moment when all your skills can be stimulated through play. Therefore, this phase is the basis of behavioral, sensory, cognitive and language development, as well as social and affective relationships. The contribution of games in the teaching and learning processes enables children to improve communication, expression, relationships and learning; since it allows the experimentation of sensorimotor actions, the manipulation of objects, the establishment of social interactions and the construction of mental representations, which helps the child in cognitive and emotional terms, enabling greater performance in learning. Thus, this study is justified by the need to promote better guidance for teachers in playing for children with ASD, in order to develop skills that may be impaired. We seek to understand the importance of playful games for the development of skills in children with autism in early childhood. Play is a powerful way to reach a child with ASD, and the key to success is balancing a developmental approach to play that encompasses some structure along with accompanying the lead child. The game is not just a tool that rewards opening up all areas of development and trying to expand them; it is also a bridge between teacher and student.
