Step By Step To Social Inclusion and Citizenship: Vasco Conquests

Abstract

Vasco, a wanted child, showed developmental differences at 18 months, including a lack of response to stimuli and delayed language and was diagnose with autism. Vasco received support from early intervention teams, speech therapy, and other therapies. Private assistance, particularly in speech therapy, complemented his progress. Throughout his schooling, Vasco had the support of special education teachers and benefited from measures for inclusion. Currently, at 20 years old, Vasco faces the decision of continuing in a vocational course or pursuing vocational training for future job integration. His parents prioritize his happiness and contribution to society.
