SUMMARY:

The present study focuses on the knowledge of public servants about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a professional and technological education institution (EPT). The research was driven by the importance of promoting the effective inclusion of students with ASD in EPT. The main objective was to evaluate the knowledge of administrative technicians and professors of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Minas Gerais (IFMG) - Campus Formiga - about the inclusion of these students, aiming at the creation of a product to improve the work. This involves specific objectives, such as understanding school inclusion and its application in EPT, as well as exploring legislation and guidelines related to ASD and inclusion in the institution. The methodology used was Bardin's content analysis, including semi-structured interviews with Campus Formiga employees to assess their knowledge about autism. The analysis revealed limited knowledge about ASD, indicating the need for more disclosure. Courses, lectures and seminars are recommended to train employees in the understanding of autism and in the effective management of students with ASD. The results highlighted the importance of school inclusion on Campus Formiga, demonstrating commitment to diversity and equality. However, one of the main challenges identified was the lack of a specialized professional to work in the classroom with students with ASD. The specialized support was essential to promote the full development of students with ASD in an inclusive educational environment. In summary, the study highlights the importance of improving the knowledge of public servants about ASD and inclusion, as well as investing in resources and specialized professionals to ensure the effective inclusion of these students in EPT. As a suggestion for an educational product, we propose an improvement course on autism at EPT, with modules offering solutions to solve the demand that arose in the results of the analysis of the interviews. The knowledge gained on the course will reflect a real commitment to more inclusive and sustainable educational environments, driving a lasting positive impact.
