International Journal of Special Education, v33 n3 p579-591 2018
The present study aimed to develop a proposed training program based on DTT to improve the nonverbal communication skills in children with ASD. To achieve the objective of the study, the author developed a scale of non-verbal communication skills consisted of (20 items) measures attention and eye contact, imitation and using the signal, understanding the facial expressions and tones of voice. The author also developed a DTT program by reviewing the previous literature. The study sample consisted of (26) children with ASD aged (6-11) years, were chosen deliberately and divided randomly into two groups: an experimental group consisted of (13) children, and a control group consisted of (13) children. The results showed a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.005) between the performance of the experimental and the control groups on the non-verbal communication skills scale in favor of the experimental group. On the other hand, the results indicated that there are no differences in the experimental group between post-test and following up phases.
