The purpose of this article is to bring to the public an issue that is sensitive to people with disabilities, especially those who fall within the autism spectrum, which is access to quality education.Article 5 of the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil guarantees everyone, indiscriminately, the right to education.However, it fails to present means to achieve it, leaving it up to the Executive Branch, through a set of measures, public policies, to implement this constitutional precept.In this scenario, we sought through bibliographical research to discuss public policies developed in the last 5 years and list the main difficulties faced by teaching staff when faced with autistic students in the classroom.Within the proposal, Applied Behavior Analysis -ABA stands out, a science that facilitates the interaction of students with each other or between student and teacher so that they can assertively have a quality education, such as developing skills that provide their functional independence, as proposed in the Salamanca Declaration in its text.Finally, it makes considerations about the importance of the actors in the educational relationship: teacher, student, institution and State.
