The effectiveness of the )TEACCH( program in the effective expression of children with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract

The current research aimed to know the effectiveness of the TEACCH program in developing an effective expression for children with autism spectrum disorder, and the target community for research were children with autism spectrum disorder, and the sample consisted of (10) children, all of whom were males, chosen by a simple random method, and their ages ranged between (3-6) years, who are present (at Al-Nourain Center for Autism and Learning Disorders) in Al-Diwaniyah. The children were distributed into two groups, by (the experimental group included (5) children, and (5) children for the control group), the psychological profile battery was used - the third version Which is called idiomatically (PEP-3), and the effective expression scale has been adopted as a tool for data collection, which is the independent scale in the third edition of the Psychological Profile Battery (2014), and the premium for using the CARS ST-2 scale to determine the level of disorder (ASD), In addition, the results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the scores of the experimental group members for the effective expression scale between the pre and post-tests, and in favor of the post-test, there were no statistically significant differences between the scores of the individuals in the control group for the scale. Effective expression, there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post scale and for the reconciliation of the experimental group.
