Abstract EN

Reinforcement schedules are one of the essential elements of a behavioral intervention plan based on applied behavior analysis principles.

Reinforcement schedules are one of the main factors affecting the effectiveness of reinforcement.

Hence the efficacy of the intervention.

The current study aimed to determine how teachers employ reinforcementschedules in teaching students with autism spectrum disorder.

The number of participants in the study was (95) male and female teachers of students with autism spectrum disorder.

The results confirm that teachers of students with autism spectrum disorder utilize reinforcement schedules in the education oftheir students to a moderate degree and tend to use continuous reinforcement schedules more than intermittent reinforcement schedules.

There are no statistically significant differences between teachers' utilization of reinforcement schedules in teaching students with autism spectrum disorder attributed to years of experience and the number of students in the classroom.

The study recommends educating teachers about the importance of reinforcement schedules and their use in behavioral interventions with students with autism spectrum disorder through training courses and programs, and the inclusion of evaluating behavioral treatment plans and their quality in assessing teachers' performance.
