Abstract

The Ann Sullivan Panama Center offers support to students with autism and cognitive disabilities to make them independent and insert them into society, by learning skills that are useful in daily life. Applying the Natural Functional Curriculum, during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, CASPAN implemented Emergency Remote Teaching to maintain the continuity of its distance programs. With the objective of determining the progress of the students with this methodology, the measurement of 17 weeks was carried out with the Intensive School for Families program, in a quantitative study of a descriptive and longitudinal level. With the survey technique, the instrument was designed so that the user could manage multiple response levels such as the Likert psychometric scale, whose content was confirmed through the validity of the response and expert judgment; The students were divided into 3 subgroups to measure their progress within the same group and the person responsible for monitoring at home. The results showed that with the Emergency Remote Teaching methodology, the students gained skills through the activities of the home environment and agreed to be recorded and exchange information with their specialists through technological equipment, signifying an important advance to promote remote learning. of functional skills to those who, for reasons of physical space, are not attached to any other CASPAN program.
