Board games have been gaining prominence in therapies because they help autistic children develop autonomy. Thus, observing the main difficulties experienced by these children, we saw the need to work on the validation of a Care-Educational Technology (CET) previously built to help autistic people in their daily lives. This study followed a number of phases to reach validation. The first was the selection of expert judges through the Lattes - CNPq Platform, followed by the preparation and sending of e-mails to collect data from the selected judges/experts and, finally, contact with the Júlio Bandeira University Hospital to access the target audience of this project. The validation involved the collaboration of 16 specialist judges, divided into two areas of knowledge, regarding the validation of the content and appearance of the CET. The judges analyzed the material sent by e-mail, praised it, and pointed out issues to improve the game on screen. The content on the cards is easy to understand and favors changing habits and behaviors because it is objective. As for the appearance, the judges suggested changing the color palette in order to make it more harmonious, as well as standardizing the elements used on the board. Finally, it is important to build and validate CET, especially for the development of social interactions, learning, and greater autonomy in carrying out basic activities for autistic children.
