This study aimed to carry out a scope review, mapping the national literature on
occupational therapeutic action with people with ASD. The methodology used for this
study was a scope review. The PRISMA checklist was used to guide the research. The
search was carried out in Scielo, Web of Science and Embase databases, in national
occupational therapy journals (Occupational Therapy Journals, Journal of Occupational
Therapy at USP, Brazilian Interinstitutional Journal of Occupational
Therapy Revisbra-TO, Bahia Journal of Occupational Therapy) and in the Digital
Library of Theses and Dissertations. The literature search was limited to publications
on the intervention of Occupational Therapy and ASD, made from 2011 to the present
day, providing a result of 375 articles, after applying the inclusion criteria and of
exclusion, 8 articles potentially relevant to the study remained. The results demonstrate
the importance of the occupational therapist's role with people with ASD, as it favors
the processes of social and school inclusion, acts in the acquisition of skills, whether in
self-care or gains in mobility. In this way, it is seen during the studies that Occupational
Therapy acts in the enhancement of skills and in the participation of these people.
