The methodology used to search for scientific research was carried out in the database of the CAPES portal and Google Scholar® with the following terms “applications” 'and' 'TEA', 'literacy' 'and' 'digital accessibility'; and to identify the educational applications, a search was carried out for Android mobile devices, using the descriptors “autism” 'or' “autistic spectrum disorder” on Google play. In the collection of scientific productions, inclusion criteria were used, such as: Portuguese language and others, and for the search of the apps, those that had a “four stars more” evaluation were selected, thus the exclusion criteria: other deficiencies. For data analysis, the PRISMA2020 software was used, generating eligibility in the literature review. The results are demonstrated in a qualitative and quantitative way from the analysis and discussion of the 16 scientific productions found and the compilation of findings, and educational applications for ASD in the area of literacy teaching in the last five years, confirming the need for more studies and development of applications aimed at the singularities of TEA.
