“…Considering the proportion of students with SEN in relation to the total number of students enrolled in the schools, it is possible to conclude that there is underdiagnosis of SEN cases, and consequently under-reporting of these cases to the education department. Taking autism spectrum disorder as an example, where the estimated prevalence is between 0.6 and 1% 13,14 , in this study only 0.05% of students were classified with this diagnosis.…”

Objective: To assess the diagnostic status, the sociodemographic and health profiles for students with special educational needs (SEN) in a public educational system, and to map their use of educational/social services. Methods: The sample comprised 1,202 SEN students from a total of 59,344 students. Results: Only 792 students of the 1,202 had an established diagnosis. The most prevalent SEN condition was intellectual disability. There was a low percentage (29.4%) of use of specialized educational services or support. It was found that, for some neurodevelopmental disorders, prevalence data suggest an under-reporting in the school system. Conclusion: Results suggest that there is a mismatch between the diagnostic reports and the SEN condition legally recognized according to Brazilian law, in addition to the under-reporting and under specialized service use of students with disabilities.Keywords: diagnosis; child; school; disability. RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar a situação diagnóstica, o perfil sociodemográfico e de saúde dos alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais (NEE) de uma rede municipal de educação, assim como mapear o uso de serviços educacionais e sociais. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 1202 alunos com NEE de um total de 59344 alunos. Resultados: Dos 1202 alunos somente 792 tinha diagnóstico estabelecido.A condição de NEE mais prevalente foi a deficiência intelectual. Verificou-se um baixo percentual (29,4%) de uso de serviços educacionais especializados ou de apoio. Foi constatado que, para alguns transtornos do neurodesenvolvimento, os dados de prevalência parecem indicar uma subnotificação. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem um descompasso entre os registros diagnósticos e a condição de necessidade educacional especial segundo a legislação brasileira, além disso verificou-se uma subnotificação diagnóstica e baixo uso de serviços especializados entre estudantes com deficiências.

“…In [4], the authors present an interesting study on worldwide available data that estimates at the date of 2010 the number of people with ASD as 1 out of 132. The study finds no evidence of a change in prevalence for ASD between 1990 and 2010, although there are some small changes depending on regional origins.…”

Accessibility, usability and inclusion represent desirable challenges of current research in the field of universal design: in some cases, these features require adaptive behaviours and specialised customisations, while, in general, it is possible to identify common and shareable guidelines. We focus our attention on children with autism spectrum disorders. Many studies show the positive impact of using computer technologies for supporting the lives of these users. Despite that, just a restricted part of the current websites and apps is accessible and usable for people with ASD. In this paper, we present general and shared guidelines and best practices for accessibility and usability for all; and we propose specialised guidelines for designers and developers of websites and mobile applications for users with ASD. We then present a review of many of the existing websites and applications, in order to check which comply with all, or parts of these guidelines.

Therefore, understanding the autistic health problems, beyond their own neurodevelopment disorders becomes a big challenge under 1 st of parent responsibility.…”

Citation Case ReportPage 88 ABSTRACTDiagnosing and treating additional health problems in autistic children or adults, beyond their own autism troubles, is always a challenge under first of parent responsibility. This paper reports on the success of nutrition-based therapeutic approaches for improving the health and solving digestive troubles of a communicating-impaired and initially overweight patient. Symptoms include frequent burping, and diagnoses revealed hiatal hernia and stomach ulcers. Two different diet plans have been successively applied over one year. Each half-year diet impact has been home-monitored by measuring the body-mass data and index. Details on nutrition, supplement and drug intakes, as well as any observations were daily recorded. The first halfyear diet was based on gastroesophageal reflux preventing recommendations, whereas the 2 nd diet plan was elaborated from the metabolic typing and gluten intolerance information. Normal body mass index (BMI) values (20-25) were reached during the 1 st phase, which was marked by an increase in the intake of food supplement and a reduction in the frequency of drug intakes, especially from the 4 th month. After one-year of nutrition-based therapy, the patient health has been generally improved, and the hiatal hernia and ulcer problems have disappeared. A database containing all information recorded throughout the diet plans was created. During the patient body-mass loss, the muscle part increased whereas the fat part dropped. Such fat mass loss observed over the 1 st 4 months was possibly correlated to the intake frequency diminution of proton pump inhibitor, acting against the gastric acid secretion. During last 6-months of strict nutrition therapy, the body mass remained stable.
