This research focuses on one diagnosed with Autism Spectrum , to attend a Kindergarten Public Network which we hold teachers , in a situation of postponement of compulsory schooling child, who proposed an Alternative Communication System - the software Plaphoons . For this we made several observations during the academic year for children in contact with the software , and also interviewed the various educational agents who worked with this child : the mother , the Educator Special Education , the Speech Therapist . We conclude that the child 's case study manipulates the software quite easily , allowing you to use it more regularly . We conclude also that this tool not only responds to the communication needs of this child but also enables you to do some learning with its use .
