Paper Abstract:
|
This paper reports a research in development with children diagnosed with ASD in a complex approach, that is, that does not separate the process of cognition from the process of subjectivation. To do so, it uses as a challenging element a technical object - the iPad - that triggers important neurophysiological processes both because it offers numerous possibilities of coupling with reality as well as by the touch on the sensitive screen. The theoretical support lies in the complex biological theories, especially the Biology of Cognition of biologists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela whose central organizing concept is Autopoiesis. This term refers to the central operator principle of complexity that is self-organization. From there we come to an unfolding of this principle with the concept of neuroplasticity. With it, we sought to show that children diagnosed with autism can reconfigure themselves as long as they are challenged and respected in their authorship. The hegemonic approaches of ASD do not contemplate this possibility. It is a qualitative research that works with the cartographic method that is signaling the transformations of the children in the research flow. The results have been very encouraging in terms of cognitive, affective and communicational transformations. |
