Based on the ongoing discussion about the benefits of quality care in facilitating School transitions, this article aims to analyze and understand the perspectives of eight mothers regarding the transition of their children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to elementary school in the public education system of Brasília, Federal District, Brazil. A qualitative research was developed as a method, with the application of a case study. Semi-structured interviews, utilizing active listening techniques, were used to collect data, which was then analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed evidence of shortcomings that hinder smooth, individualized, and inclusive transitions, particularly in terms of practices that reinforce the preparation and involvement of families and their children in planning for new environments. The study concludes that there is a need to establish guiding principles and regulations tailored to individual school contexts.
