Inclusão como um direito: uma análise das discussões nas redes sociais

Abstract

This conclusion study aims to analyze how an Instagram profile, aimed at children, young people and adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as their families, can help in the dissemination of inclusive processes. Inclusion is a relevant topic nowadays and social networks have proven to be a privileged space for the debate and dissemination ideas, becoming an important tool for the promotion for this social policy. In this sense, this study proposes to investigate how this theme is addressed in these virtual environments. The research was carried out through a qualitative content analysis, with the collection of posts, comments and interactions related to the theme of inclusion, especially autism, on the social network @aquarelaproautista. The results obtained allow us to state that the profile aims to raise awareness in society regarding the services provided and, at the same time, build a support network for the families of children with ASD. The institution, in addition to offering guidance to families and schools and offering therapeutic services, is clear about the important role that the family plays in the inclusive and learning process. To this end, it seeks to strengthen the affective ties between the people who make up the family nucleus, but also the relationships between the families who seek therapeutic support in the institution.
