Abstract

The lack of basic skills is one of the major issues affecting the behavior of autistic children.  This is due to delays in acquiring sensory experiences from the stimuli of the surrounding environment. This study aims to establish an individual behavioral therapy program for developing adaptive behavior skills among autistic children, whilst determining its effectiveness and its role in developing the skills of independence, social interaction, and social communication of autistic children.
