Abstract(s)
As Perturbações do Espetro do Autismo (PEA) constituem um objeto de estudo em constante evolução científica, na tentativa de encontrar soluções, ou pelo menos caminhos, que contribuam para o bem-estar de quem apresenta estas perturbações. É importante continuar a estudar e a aprofundar práticas que melhorem os défices das PEA.
No presente estudo focámos a nossa atenção no desenvolvimento e melhoria das competências socias que, segundo a APA (2014), estão presentes nos indivíduos com PEA, através da dinamização duas atividades (interação com uma Instalação Artística e criação de uma obra de Arte Colaborativa), nas quais se pretendeu verificar se os jovens são motivados pela vertente artística.
A referida investigação desenvolveu-se numa abordagem qualitativa, tendo recorrido à observação participante e também de caráter estruturado, através de uma grelha de observação. O estudo envolveu seis jovens com PEA, que são acompanhados na Associação Portuguesa para as Perturbações do Desenvolvimento e Autismo.
Os dados recolhidos permitiram corroborar a melhoria de competências sociais, quando utilizada a arte como meio de interação com os participantes, em consonância com a perspetiva de diversos autores que defendem que a Arteterapia constitui um ambiente facilitador para o desenvolvimento e a expressão das pessoas com autismo.
Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are an object of study in constant scientific evolution, trying to find solutions (or at least ways) which contribute to the well-being of those affected by the disorders. It is important to carry on studying and implementing techniques which can improve the deficits of the ASD. This study focuses on the development and improvement of social skills which, according to the APA (2014), are present on individuals with ASD, by implementing two activities (Artistic Installation and Collaborative Art), with the purpose of seeing if the youngsters are artistically motivated. The above mentioned research was developed by a qualitative approach, through participative observation and structured character, using an observation matrix. The research studied six youngsters suffering from ASD, which are followed by the Portuguese Association for Development Disorders and Autism. The data gathered allowed for the improvement of social skills, using art as a means of interaction with the participants, according to the perspective of several authors supporting Arttherapy as a beneficial environment for the development and expression of people suffering from autism.
