Desafiando Murallas: Una Travesía Neuropedagógica en el Mundo Autista Escolar

Abstract

In Colombia, addressing neurodiversities has not been an easy task due to multiple factors ranging from ignorance to scarcity of resources. Against this background, the present research aims at contributing to the theoretical and practical vacuum underlying neurodiversities. This project thus corresponds to a systematization of experiences in the qualitative paradigm. In such a way, it intends to systematize a series of neuropedagogical strategies that are framed within a narrative and that were directed to a student diagnosed with ASD; belonging to the primary school of EI 20 de Enero in Sincelejo, Sucre. In this sense, the experiences will be presented as a narrative, which will be strengthened from a field journal and the application of two semi-structured interviews directed to the teacher and the student’s mother. In this way, the results obtained are grouped into a narrative analysis delimited by the three key moments of a story: beginning, development and ending. As a synthesis, the results show that there were some improvements in the student’s neurodevelopment thanks to neurologically directed activities for his learning; evidencing a progress in the interaction domain, communication and management of emotions. This reflects the efforts of some teachers to promote and foster inclusive educational environments that benefit all despite the adversities and limitations of the education system.
