Esta dissertação, realizada no âmbito da obtenção do mestrado em Ciências da Educação: Educação Especial, Domínio Cognitivo e Motor, apresenta como tema condutor de todo o desenrolar da investigação a Pintura e o Desenvolvimento da Comunicação no Primeiro Ciclo do Ensino Básico, na Criança Autista. Pretende-se, através de um estudo comparativo entre docentes especializados na intervenção em crianças autistas de Portugal e dos Estados Unidos da América, analisar e tirar conclusões acerca da possível contribuição da pintura no desenvolvimento da comunicação verbal e não-verbal na criança pertencente ao primeiro ciclo do ensino básico, tendo em conta que a comunicação é um domínio comprometido em qualquer sujeito autista, ainda que em níveis de comprometimento díspares. A investigação decorreu com a colaboração de docentes ligados à intervenção em crianças autistas que frequentem este nível de ensino.
