The purpose of the research presented is to establish the degree of usefulness of flashcards, to teach foreign languages to students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). For this, a non-experimental methodology was applied with a transectional design. The sample consisted of 9 students with ASD, whose ages range from 12 to 14 years old. To collect the information, an estimation scale was applied during two moments, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the pedagogical cards. The results were processed using the statistical program IBM SPSS. The data obtained show that for the 3 types of autism that are studied, flashcards are an effective pedagogical instrument in the teaching of foreign languages.
