Resumen
El presente trabajo se trata de una revisión bibliográfica a través de la cual se pretende conocer la efectividad de diferentes programas de intervención destinados a potenciar las Funciones Ejecutivas (FE) en el alumnado con Trastorno del Espectro Autista. Se utilizaron varias bases de datos para la selección de los 23 artículos recientes que componen este estudio. La mayoría de los estudios muestran mejoras significativas en las diferentes dimensiones de las FE trabajadas. Aunque hay una cantidad considerable de recursos enfocados a desarrollar las Funciones Ejecutivas, convendría ampliar los estudios y reducir las limitaciones de estos con el fin de que los resultados se puedan universalizar y abarcar a mayor población por la importancia del desarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas para el alumnado con Trastorno del Espectro Autista.
Palabras clave: Necesidades educacionales
