فاعلية برنامج إثرائي بديل في تحسين مكونات الانتباه لدى الأطفال ذوي اضطراب طيف التوحد

Abstract EN

The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of an enrichment augmentative program with the aim of improving attention components among children with autism spectrum disorder.

The study sample consisted of 12 children, 11 males and 1 female.

The age of the sample members ranged between (6-8) years.

The research instraments consisted of a scale of the components of visual attention (orienting attention, shifting attention, sustained attention and selective attention) of children with autism spectrum disorder, in addition to an electronic alternative enrichment program that included activities such as (orienting attention, sustained attention and shifting attention).

The results of the study revealed that there were statistically-significant differences at the level of (0.05) for the measurement of the components of visual attention in the following dimensions (orienting attention, sustained attention and shifting attention) between the pre and the post measurements, and were in favor of the post measurement.

Also, there were statistically-significant differences at the level of (0.05) for the measurement of the components of visual attention in the dimensions (orienting attention, sustained attention and shifting attention) between the post and the sequential measurements, and were in favor of sequential measurement.
