Abstract

Objective: This study describes the strategies adopted by a Dental Outreach Project for people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, addressing the introduction of social media and assistive technologies used during the COVID 19 pandemic in the dialogue with these patients. Method: the SIEX registration of this project (403506) was analyzed in relation to the results achieved and the products effectively delivered to the target audience and the scientific community. Results: Institutional videos and participatory workshops were found demonstrating how to develop motivational materials for oral hygiene, food and Instagram posts for the community in general and the academic community, participation in scientific events, preparation of booklets, writing of scientific articles and master's thesis. Conclusion: The dialogical relationship with society and the impact and social transformation can only be measured with the face-to-face return to the clinics. The use of remote communication may have impaired the interaction between the multidisciplinary team and this unique population in terms of social interaction. The extension project “Dental care for people with ASD” made an effort to keep these relationship channels open with this population and hopes that this effort can mitigate the effects of social isolation in promoting oral health for people with ASD.
