The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.
The Home page includes a summary of the articles published in the last number of the Journal .

The search for effective learning ways for the education of autistic spectrum students focuses on the development of those basic dimensions which define it. Our aim is to structure those educational schemes which make easier the integration of such development dimensions in the curriculum, as an educational target itself, as well as it becomes a process which simplifies the global development. In this sense, the Cognitive Central Coherence Theory and the description of a case study, allow us to infer the basic reference pillars over which lay the initial design of the activity program proposed. Key Words: Augmentative Communication, Alternative Communication, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Psychoeducational Programme and Autism. |
