The study carried out at the “Luis Alberto Luna Tobar” Special School focused on evaluating the effectiveness of inclusive strategies for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in preschool 1 and 2. The research used a quantitative, descriptive and correlational approach, collecting data through validated surveys and questionnaires such as the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) and the Perceived Educational Inclusion questionnaire. The results showed that individualized support is the most used strategy, with 60% of respondents indicating its daily implementation. In addition, it was observed that the academic performance of students with ASD is, for the most part, comparable to that of their peers without ASD, although some variations were reported. The findings also pointed out that curricular adaptations and assistive technology are underused, indicating a lack of resources and knowledge in these areas. Teacher training and availability of materials were identified as the greatest challenges to the effective implementation of inclusive strategies. Despite these obstacles, the data suggest that the implemented strategies have had a positive impact on the integration of students with ASD, although improvement in collaboration between school and families is needed. Recommendations include an increased focus on training educators, providing adequate resources, and improving communication with parents. This study contributes to the understanding of the educational needs of children with ASD and offers suggestions to optimize inclusive strategies, promoting a more inclusive and equitable educational environment.
