Situación educativa de la población con discapacidad múltiple. Estudio de caso: Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) asociado a Trastorno por Déficit de Atención/Hiperactividad

Abstract

The purpose of this case study is to analyze the educational situation of a teen with Autism Spectrum Disorder associated with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, which allowed to visualize the adolescent's profile from the model of a functional educational evaluation and in this way recognize reasonable supports and adjustments that benefit educational care. To carry out this case study, the different problems of the adolescent are taken into account, in the educational field, the little participation and commitment of teachers in the knowledge and management of students with Special Educational Needs, so that there are no comprehensive curriculum adaptations, which take into account the potentials, strengths and participation of the adolescent, the family, external professionals, among others. The definition of disability, ASD and ADHD related to the educational situation is considered as a starting point. Cross-cutting non-experimental research is presented, with a qualitative, descriptive approach, through a case study through the use of PIAR data sheets, functional educational assessment and a survey aimed at the managers and teachers of the institution. The information collected through these instruments showed that in the school to which the adolescent belongs they do not know their educational profile, nor has a functional evaluation been made to identify and implement the reasonable supports and adjustments that the adolescent needs for proper inclusion in the school.
