Keywords:
Techniques of Applied Behavior Analysis; Life Skills; Autism Spectrum Disorder
Abstract
This Study Aimed to detect the efficiency of a training program the research included (60) autistic children from disability centers in the al-kharj governorate. the purpose of the study was to determine the efficiency of the training program based on techniques of behavior analysis to improve certain life skills for children with an autism spectrum disorder.
The Findings of the study showed the successful development of autism spectrum disorder life skills in kids, the study showed that the mean ranks of the children's autism spectrum in the intervention groups and control groups on the life skills scale were statistically significant variations (α=0.05), attributable to the training program, in favor of the indoctrination strategy, The study also revealed statistically important differences in the significance level (α = 0,05) between, on the one hand, the indoctrination strategy and each of the training strategy and control group.
