Resumen: The generalisation of learning is one of the main elements to take into account when carrying out an educational intervention. This process involves certain difficulties for the population with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this sense, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the process of generalisation of skills related to the social domain (affected area in the population with ASD), in the special classroom for ASD, the regular classroom and the family environment, after the implementation of a social skills programme based on technologies. We propose a longitudinal quantitative research study based on case studies which employs a pretest-posttest methodology. The sample is made up of four students diagnosed with ASD. Data collection was carried out using two questionnaires. The results obtained reflect a generalisation of learning associated with basic social relationship skills, joint reference and inter-subjective capacity in all the contexts analysed.
