Benefícios da Ginástica para Todos na dimensão socioafetiva do aluno autista no primeiro ciclo do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

Gymnastics for All (GFA) is a modality that guarantees several benefits to its practitioner. As it does not have any type of exclusion, that is, there is no distinction of sex, age group or any other aspect, this practice is literally For All. Above all, it is not a competitive modality, but a modality that aims at the physical, mental and social well-being of the practitioner, thus, a practice well differentiated from what is usually developed at school. The main objective of this work is to investigate the benefits that the practice of Gymnastics for All offers autistic students in Physical Education classes. The methodological process used in this study was a literature review, based on bibliographic research. The “SciELO” and “Academic Google” sites were used; the Virtual Library of Faculdade Dom Bosco was also used. In all, 58 works were researched, namely: 30 articles, 7 documents, 4 official websites, 2 laws, 1 decree, 4 monographs, 3 dissertations, 6 books and 1 doctoral thesis. The period used to support this work was from: 1988 to 2020. Throughout the work, we bring evidence that proves that GFA brings several benefits to the autistic student, mainly in the socio-affective dimension.
