AVILA, Daniel Camparo et al. Therapeutic groups for boys and girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder: strategies and possibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Estilos clin. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp.265-282.  Epub Nov 10, 2025. ISSN 1415-7128.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v26i2p265-282.

The arrival of the first cases of COVID-19 in Uruguay is accompanied by the decree of sanitary emergency. This interrupts the operation of an institutional device for boys and girls with autism, which is currently made up of therapeutic groups coordinated by students from the Faculty of Psychology of the University of the Republic. Reports of two groups of plastic expression and one of music are presented and the actions implemented to continue the therapeutic process virtually are briefly described. Next, the strategies used are discussed based on the continuity of treatment, therapeutic alliance, transference and technique. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the virtual groups as a way to promote the continuity of clinical care.
