Resumo:The aim of this study was to develop and validate an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) model to be used by teachers who work with students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study, designed as a collaborative action-research, had the participation of school administrators, teachers from the public school system of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) and researchers in the field of Special Education. Interview data conducted with the group of school administrators revealed the lack of an IEP model to be used in schools. The questionnaires answered by 23 teachers revealed lack of knowledge in the field of ASD. Based on these demands, a theoretical-practical course on the IEP was designed for the group of teachers. Then, the teachers and researchers collaboratively elaborated an IEP model to be inserted in an electronic platform. Finally, the instrument was validated by 5 external judges (researchers) and 13 internal judges (teachers that participated in the course). The proposed model served as the foundation for the IEP structure created by the educational management system of RN.
