Accompagner les élèves avec autisme dans des espaces coéducatifs avec un outil numérique de planification

Abstract

Accompanying students with autism in co-educational spaces with a digital planning tool

Young learners with autism encounter some difficulties in finding their way through time and space. To accompany them, we have proposed a digital planning tool to education stakeholders (professionals and parents). Our research work aims at highlighting the interests of using a digital agenda with young people with ASD, but also what this support has fostered in terms of co-education, in addition to the development of co-educational spaces. Our research was carried out with five children with autism who were accommodated in a specialized structure with, for some of them, school accompaniment in an ordinary environment. Through the feedback from professionals and parents, we can affirm, for the participants in our study, that the digital planning tool crosses borders and allows for a homogenous care responding to the particular educational needs of young children with ASD in the different living spaces, thus allowing the development of co-educational spaces.
