Abstract

The article aimed to investigate the effect of a vocational rehabilitation program which is based on animal production on enabling persons with autism spectrum disorder occupationally in Amman. The sample consisted of (16) persons with autism spectrum disorders who attended two special education centers in Amman. They were chosen purposefully because these centers had vocational programs and adequate numbers of persons with autism spectrum disorder. The study subjects were randomly distributed into two groups: experimental and control, each of which included 8 people. The animal production training program was designed with certain skills and procedures. And a tool was developed to measure occupational skills before and after the complete mentation of the animal production training program and its validity and reliability were established. The program was implemented over a period of two months. The results of ANCOVA showed that there were statistically significant differences between the student’s performance at the level of (0. 0 5= α) in the post-post-application ending on the group variable favoring the experimental group. The study ended with recommendations related to vocational rehabilitation programs for autism spectrum disorder.
