The number of students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) enrolled in public and private schools in the Balearic Islands has increased by 445% in less than a decade, a situation that has forced teachers to improve learning processes and teach "at breakneck speed" to adapt to new realities. This is one of the main conclusions of the study. Educational characteristics of students with ASD, included in the Yearbook of Education of the Islands, presented this Thursday and prepared by the Educational and Social Research and Training Group (GIFES) of the UIB, with the support of the Guillem Cifre de Colonya Foundation.
