LOGICAL MATHEMATICAL REASONING IN STUDENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS

This article responds to the need to design specific innovative strategies for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, as well as implement effective interventions aimed at developing logical mathematical reasoning, so important for their development in daily life. Taking this into account, the general objective was to propose a didactic strategy for the development of logical mathematical reasoning in a student with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The research is descriptive, methodological and field where theoretical and empirical methods are combined. The proposed teaching strategy is characterized by its inclusive and contextualized nature by taking into account the particularities of the environment where the student operates and their individual potential, which facilitated the learning process, as well as greater interest and motivation. The analysis of the results after the application in practice was carried out through a case study where it was possible to verify the strengthening of logical mathematical thinking in the student from greater motivation, being able to relate and identify clearly and quickly the numbers from one to ten, using their symbolic representations, as well as improving their behavior among other advances.
