Abstract (English): A central problem of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is the inability to develop communication skills. Language development is a frequent goal of many educational programmes for autistic children. In this context, an alternative strategy that can facilitate the communicative and relational dimension is represented by the use of Sign Language (SL). The The use of LS stands as an example of good practice, highlighting how one can recover that social and playful dimension that is lost when disability, in this case Autism, is considered only as a pathology to be treated. Therefore, this paper identifies the use of Italian Sign Language (ISL) as an effective teaching approach for inclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Italian): Un problema centrale dei bambini con disturbi dello Spettro Autistico è l'incapacità di sviluppare capacità comunicative. Lo sviluppo del linguaggio è un obiettivo frequente di molti Programmi Educativi per bambini autistici. In questo contesto, una strategia alternativa che possa facilitare la dimensione comunicativa e relazionale è rappresentata dall'utilizzo della Lingua Italiana dei Segni (LIS). L'uso della LIS si pone come esempio di buona pratica, evidenziando come si possa recuperare quella dimensione sociale e ludica che si perde quando la Disabilità, in questo caso l'Autismo, è considerata solo come una patologia da trattare. Pertanto, questo lavoro identifica l'uso della Lingua Italiana dei Segni (LIS) come un approccio Didattico efficace per l'Inclusione. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
