Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate how Early Intervention helps children with
Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities and Autism in social inclusion. The methodology used
to carry out this study was the application of a questionnaire via a messaging application
on the Google Forms platform, sent to 80 families of children aged 0 to 6 years, assisted at
APAE - Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais, from São José dos Campos - SP, in the
Early Intervention Program. Each family and/or caregiver should answer 10 questions about
diagnosis, care, access to sports, culture and leisure, use of assistive devices and the child’s
evolution. The results obtained in this study showed that Early Intervention contributes to the
social inclusion of children with Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities and Autism Spectrum
Disorder. It was concluded that the specialized care provided early favors the insertion of the
child in society, since they contribute to autonomy, independence, communication, interaction
and motor development.
