Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Licenciatura em Educação Física) – Faculdade de Educação Física e Dança, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2023.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/23556The present work relates some aspects that are essential for the understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the collaboration of swimming as a physical activity for people with the disorder. The research is characterized as exploratory. The research technique used was a questionnaire. The interviews were divided into two groups: professionals and guardians. For each of these two groups, different questions were formulated and directed to each group. The decision for case study starts from the theory of studying a group of objects with the purpose of contributing with the comprehensive knowledge of a theme. The results presented were all obtained through the digital tool Google Forms; in this tool, the interviewees have autonomy to answer the questions in an orderly and anonymous way according to the proposed questions. In all, nine answers were counted for the questionnaire intended for professionals and 13 answers for guardians. Google Forms delivered these responses in graphs and tables. In general, the research is positively delimited in relation to the importance of swimming for people with ASD from the point of view of the two treated groups. Water can be used for recreational, playful, therapeutic, utilitarian, adapted, competitive and child-oriented purposes and in a place of existence and production of life where human universality is expressed.porAcesso AbertoNataçãoTEABenefíciosProfissionaisResponsáveisSwimmingTEABenefitsProfessionalsGuardiansTCC
