| Summary: | Children's Autism Spectrum Disorder suffers from independence skills’ problems.
Hence, this research is to design a training program based on the Lovaas' approach to
develop the Children's Autism Spectrum Disorder Independence skills and to measure
its effectiveness. To achieve the objective of the study, the researcher used the semiexperimental method based on the training program and the independence skills. The
research population consists of Children's Autism Spectrum Disorder, ages 4 to 8 years,
who were in the special education centers in Irbid governorate from the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan for the year 2018/2019. The sample of experimental and control
group consisted of 30 Children's Autism Spectrum Disorder who were purposively
selected and divided into two groups: 15 experimental and 15 control students. The
post-test results showed statistically significant differences between experimental and
control groups at the level of a= 0.05 while the mean scores (32.00) indicated
significantly for the experimental group of independence skills in post-test. Moreover,
the results showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the level of
0.05 = a in the post and delayed test in the experimental group. In light of the results of
the research, the researcher recommended the need to take advantage of the training
program and the implementation program. One of the researcher's suggestions is to conduct a similar research on the Lovaas' approach for different age groups and
different skills in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. |
