Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a remote program based on the techniques of applied behavior analysis to provide illiterate mothers by methods of dealing with the behaviors of their children with autism spectrum disorder and to achieve this, the study used the quasi-experimental approach represented in designing a single group. The study consisted of (9) illiterate mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder present in autism centers in Taif region. The study tools consisted of scale level of possession of the mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder for the behavioral modification techniques by Haitham al- hayari (2018) and developing a remote program based on the techniques of applied behavior analysis, prepared by the researcher. The results found that there are statistically significant differences between the mean of the study members in the pre and post measurements of the dimension of the methods of strengthening the desired behavior in favor of the post measurement, and the presence of statistically significant differences between the mean of the study members in the pre and post measurements of the dimension of the methods of reducing unwanted behavior in favor of the post measurement, and the existence of statistically significancant differences among the average of the study members in the pre and post measurements of the dimension of the new behavior formation methods in favor of the post measurement.
