Training of CDO specialists for the psychopedagogical diagnosis of students with autism indicators

Abstract

The current educational context demands an increase in the quality of the processes carried out within it. Within this framework, specialized diagnostic care is the responsibility of the specialists at the Diagnostic and Guidance Centers (CDO). The training of specialists within the multidisciplinary team of the municipality of Diez de Octubre is necessary to assume the task of specialized diagnosis, with greater attention to students with indicators of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Based on these conditions, a system of workshops is presented for the preparation of specialists to undertake specialized diagnosis of students with ASD indicators. This is based on a historical-cultural approach, enriched by a support manual that promotes the theoretical and methodological updating of psychopedagogical diagnostic practices. Through the implementation of the proposal, the feasibility of the positive transformation of the specialists at the CDO in Diez de Octubre was verified.
