We have addressed one of aspects of this shortcoming, a weakness in the visual discrimination and visual perception skills dysfunction.

Which prevent their ability to acquire academic skills and gain experience and learning Problem: How effective is the use of the proposed program in the development of visual discrimination in autistic children?, What is the possibility of continuation of the effectiveness of this program by the autistic child after elapsing a period of time? Objectives: Identify the strengths and weaknesses level visual discriminate skills it also aims at recognizing the effectiveness of the proposed Ira in mg program for the development of visual discrimination in children with autism.

Methodology: Semi- experimental approach one group method.

And visual discriminatian scale foe Autistic children (prepared by the researcher), and the proposed training program that has been applied on the children (prepared by the researcher) Results: There are statistically significant differences between the average grade degrees of autistic children in the experimental group in the pre- and post measurements of the program on a scale of visual discrimination foe children with autism in the direction of post measurement.

There are no statistically significant differences between the average grade degrees of autistic children in the experimental group in the post and the following up measurement of the program on a scale of visual discrimination foe children with autism
