Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a behavioral syndrome with developmental, behavioral
and social interaction disorders. Care technologies, used by the multidisciplinary team, are
strategies that seek to promote satisfactory results in social interaction, behavior and breaking
stereotypical routines. The study aims to reveal the challenges that permeate the care of health
professionals who care for children with ASD and to learn about the care technologies used in
the care of health professionals who care for children with ASD. This is a descriptive study
with a qualitative approach, carried out between July and August 2023. 17 health professionals
were interviewed. The data were analyzed from the perspective of Bardin's content analysis
technique and processed by the software Interface de R pour les Analyzes Multidimensionnelles
de Textes et de Questionnaires. The results of processing the Iramuteq software identified 6
classes and, through semantic grouping, three thematic categories emerged: “Techniques and
strategies used in the intervention and behavioral management of children with ASD”;
“Challenges in providing care to children with ASD” and “Role of the family in caring for
children with ASD: Challenges, Acceptance and Overcoming”. It is concluded that it is
essential to adopt multidisciplinary approaches, which integrate techniques, technologies,
specialized clinical care, family support and integration into the social context, to promote
comprehensive care for children with ASD.
