  Introduction

  • Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are one of the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. Regarding the prevalence, studies point out the increase of ASD during the lasts decades.
    

    People with ASD usually experience scholar difficulties. Because of that, other associated school problems, such as school failure or absenteeism, could arise while they feel overwhelmed in dealing with social and academic demands. 

    To this end, the main objective of the course is to reduce the school vulnerability of persons with ASD in the transition from primary to secondary by providing strategies and tools to teachers from primary and secondary school as well as other professionals belonging to the school community.
