Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) is an enduring and persistent behavior disorder, in which its individuals present a diminished quality in communication and social interaction, restricted behavior patterns as well as presence of stereotypes and mannerisms (WHO, 1993; APA, 1995). For a good future development of an individual with PDD, early intervention is needed. Such is many times impaired by Brazil s lack of information and difficulty in a precocious diagnosis. This project s goal was to search via internet what kind of information is found in the main Brazilian privet and public institutions and analyze the quality of this data for posterior elaboration of a web site map containing valid information that can elucidate patients, family members and professionals making use of this source. A complete research on public and privet web sites of PDD specialists indicated institutions and subsequent analyzes of their content took place in order to trace how the matter was treated in each web site. The information found on public institution web sites presented reduced information on PDD. Privet institution web sites displayed more appropriate information in the elucidation of questions regarding the matter, specially those of institutions who exclusively work with PDD patients. With this in mind, one can conclude that public institution web sites require an upgrade of content. An alternative for such would be the establishment of partnerships with universities and PDD specialized institutions. Privet institutions, specially those working with a greater number of deficiencies, do not detain specific information on PDD, however detained information clarifies doubts about the deficiency. All of this information contributed for the creation of a web site map allowing enlightment of non attended doubts in the investigated web sites.
