The Brazilian Challenge to Accessibility and Digital Inclusion for People With Autistic Spectrum Disorders

This paper describes the outcome of a literature systematic review on methods, methodologies, and technology solutions for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This specific domain aroused interest in consequence of (i) the new diagnostic perspective for ASD from DSM-5; (ii) the National Policy for the Protection of the Rights of Persons with ASD (Law 12.764); and; (iii) the guidelines of the Brazilian government that highlight the importance of technology for helping and enhancing interventions with this kind of population. The final selection consisted of 20 papers showing that there is a greater study concentration where the target audience is the child with ASD, and software is the type of technology solution most used to contribute for the individual's communication and social skills development.
