dc.descriptionThis research was conducted at the Nuevo Vedado School and aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of pictograms in language development in preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study involved three girls, ages 6 and 7, diagnosed with ASD, using a qualitative approach that allowed for an understanding of their communication processes and responses to the use of visual supports.An action research design was employed, as the intervention took place directly in the school setting through the application of a pedagogical strategy based on pictograms. The scope was descriptive, focused on characterizing the changes observed in the participants' expressive and receptive language.The intervention included pictograms related to basic needs, daily actions, and semantic categories such as colors, animals, and fruits, in order to facilitate comprehension and verbal expression. Data collection instruments included field observation and an interview with the special education teacher.The results showed progress in the understanding of basic instructions, image recognition, and communicative intent. Although progress was moderate due to limited time and low attendance, it is concluded that the systematic use of pictograms constitutes an effective pedagogical strategy that favors language development and promotes inclusive education.
dc.description.abstractEsta investigación se desarrolló en la Escuela Nuevo Vedado y tuvo como objetivo demostrar la eficacia de los pictogramas en el desarrollo del lenguaje en preescolares con Trastorno del Espectro Autista. El estudio se realizó con la participación de tres niñas de 6 y 7 años diagnosticadas con TEA, bajo un enfoque cualitativo que permitió comprender sus procesos comunicativos y las respuestas ante el uso de apoyos visuales. Se empleó un diseño de investigación-acción, ya que se intervino directamente en el contexto escolar mediante la aplicación de una estrategia pedagógica basada en pictogramas. El alcance fue descriptivo, orientado a caracterizar los cambios observados en el lenguaje expresivo y comprensivo de las participantes. La intervención incluyó pictogramas relacionados con necesidades básicas, acciones cotidianas y categorías semánticas como colores, animales y frutas, con el fin de facilitar la comprensión y la expresión verbal. Como instrumentos de recolección de datos se utilizó la observación de campo y una entrevista a la docente de educación especial. Los resultados evidenciaron avances en la comprensión de instrucciones básicas, el reconocimiento de imágenes y la intención comunicativa. Aunque los progresos fueron moderados debido al tiempo limitado y la baja asistencia, se concluye que el uso sistemático de pictogramas constituye una estrategia pedagógica eficaz que favorece el desarrollo del lenguaje y promueve una educación inclusiva.
