Abstract EN

The study aimed to identify the effect of digital social stories on the acquisition of the skill of recognizing the concept of certain emotions : happiness, sadness and fear among students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

it also sought to examine to what extent they could maintain their improved performance in that skill.

the study employed the experimental method using the single subject design-the multiple probe design across participants.

three (7-10)-year-old ASD students from a day-care center in Makkah took part in the study.

to collect data, digital social stories were designed as a study tool.

the findings showed that the effect level of the digital social stories on the acquisition of the skill was (70%-80%) while their effect on the maintenance of the skill was (53%-66%).

the effect size results showed a high effect between the baseline and intervention stages, as well as between the baseline and maintenance stages.

the results revealed a high level of social validity for using digital social stories.

the study recommends using the digital social story in teaching ASD students
