ABSTRACT
In the classroom, there are stories that need to be heard. This research was born from the
encounter of one of them, a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder with a unique world, seeking
paths to express himself and connect with other. The research, titled Psychopedagical
Interventions with a Treasure Hunt to Improve communication and sociability in a student with
ASD, located at the Educare Fiscomisional Educational Unit, 2025, had the general objective of
developing a psychopedagogical intervention through creative activities based on the Treasure
Hunt to improve communication and social skills in a student diagnosed with ASD. The research
was based on a qualitative, descriptive approach, across-sectional, a phenomenological
paradigm, a pre-experimental design, and a case study method. The ADOS-2 test, a semi-
structured interview, and a comparison sheet were applied. The results of the pre-test and
interviews showed that the student has difficulties with communication and social interaction.
Subsequently, the intervention based on the game of clues was implemented. Some creative
activities were adapted to the student’s specific needs. Finally, the post-test evaluation and the
comparison sheet demonstrated that the intervention had an impact on certain communicative
and social areas. It is concluded that the proposed intervention is significant for cases with ASD,
making its application relevant and achieving significant improvements.
Keywords: intervention, game, ASD, communication, sociability.
1. INTRODUCCIÓN
En el marco de la educación inclusiva contemporánea, la atención a estudiantes
con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) se constituye como un desafío
prioritario para los sistemas educativos, particularmente en contextos
latinoamericanos donde persisten brechas en la implementación de prácticas
pedagógicas basadas en evidencia. El TEA, definido como un trastorno del
neurodesarrollo caracterizado por alteraciones en la comunicación social y
patrones restrictivos y repetitivos de comportamiento (American Psychiatric
Association, 2013), implica la necesidad de diseñar respuestas educativas
individualizadas que favorezcan la interacción social y el desarrollo
comunicativo.
Diversos estudios han demostrado que las intervenciones basadas en el juego
constituyen estrategias eficaces para el desarrollo de habilidades sociales y
comunicativas en niños con TEA (Kasari et al., 2015; Wong et al., 2014). En este
sentido, el uso de dinámicas lúdicas estructuradas permite generar entornos
motivadores que facilitan la participación activa, el aprendizaje significativo y la
