    La vulneración del derecho a la educación de niños con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) en el sistema escolar primario de Cuenca: análisis jurídico, desde la perspectiva normativa e institucional
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-15) Corella Loyola, Daniela Nicole; Idrovo Torres, Diego Francisco
    The objective of this research was to analyze the violation of the right to education of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Cuenca primary school system from a legal, regulatory, and institutional perspective, identifying barriers, noncompliance, and opportunities for improvement in ensuring inclusive education. The methodology involved a mixed-method approach, using surveys and interviews. The survey results showed that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Ecuador face significant barriers to accessing inclusive education due to discriminatory enrollment practices, limited specialized support, and poor enforcement of current regulations. Although all children are currently enrolled, the process has been complex and uneven, revealing a system that still selects rather than includes. Furthermore, the lack of clear information for families and the low perception of compliance with inclusion laws reflect a weak institutional culture regarding diversity. The interviews show that, although Ecuador has a legal framework that supports inclusive education, its implementation in Cuenca institutions is limited and deficient, especially in the case of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). There are no specific regulations for ASD, which generates disparate interpretations and exclusionary practices. Interviewees agree on the lack of mandatory specialized training, the lack of material and human resources, and the absence of standardized assessment protocols.
