This study was the result of a major research conducted between 2011 and 2012. This research had the main goal to plan, implement and evaluate a teacher training program offered to teachers of public schools of Rio de Janeiro that acted in Specialized Educational Attendance to introduce the use of a system called PECS-Adaptado to help students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that had no ability of communication through speech. By the end of the major research, some questionings became evident, creating the need of this present study so the research would be able to be developed and concluded. The study was divided into two: Study I and Study II. The first one was a Follow-Up from the major research and had the purpose to verify the permanence of the practice of the system PECS-Adaptado by a ASD student supported by his teacher in a special resources class as his main social partner after the conclusion of the major research and to analyze the development in the evolution of phases from the AAC system. The study took place in a special resources class from Rio de Janeiro and the characters to participate the research were the teacher from this specific class and her ASD student. Seven Follow-up sessions occurred and were analyzed through a protocol of registration according to the attempts accomplished and the scores according to the levels of support received for the use of the AAC system. The results pointed to the permanence of usage of the PECS-Adaptado by the teacher responsible for the special resources class and the good development of the student through phase 4. Study II was aimed in analyzing the communication interaction between the ASD student and the regular class room environment, checking the effects caused by the use of a system of AAC in a scholar context. The participants were the Study I student, the regular class teacher and the class intern. The study took place in a classroom of a regular public school in Rio de Janeiro and ten sessions were performed, 4 of them were base line sessions and 6 were intervention sessions, apart from 3 capacitating meetings with the teacher and the intern. To transcribe the data, boards of communicative acts from the three participants were made, so the occurrences were verified in 3 minutes intermissions. The results indicated a larger communication interaction between the student and the intern in intervention phase, once the teacher began to lower the amount of attention dedicated to the student significantly, speaking very little to him. The student began to use the AAC in class, amplifying the possibilities of communicating with his peers in a scholar context. This study concluded that the concern toward communication is a fundamental factor for the inclusion of the ASD student to occur in a more effective way, such as other factors that still need to be reviewed in pedagogical practice so the plain access of people with special needs in a scholar context can be fulfilled. Besides, the PECS Adaptado presented itself as an effective system of AAC to be used by ASD students, even if it worked better in a special resources class.
