Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a training program based on group art therapy in developing social interaction skills and increasing the aesthetic sense of the autistic child, as well as detecting differences in the levels of the sample members on the two scales of social interaction skills and aesthetic sense in the light of the effect of the training program. The sample of the study consisted of (8) children with autism who were selected from the Al-Irada Center for Autism Disorders in Gaza (Khan Yunis branch), where their ages ranged from (6-8 years). The study used the two scales of social interaction skills and aesthetic sense (prepared by the researchers). The results of the study showed the following: - There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental and control group members in the dimensional measurement on the scales of social interaction skills and aesthetic sense in favor of the experimental group due to the effect of the training program. - There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group members in the tribal and remote measurements on the scales of social interaction skills and aesthetic sense in favor of the post measurement due to the effect of the training program. - There are no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group members in the post- and follow-up measurement on the scales of social interaction skills and aesthetic sense. In light of the results, the researchers recommend the specialists and researchers to use the techniques, skills and methods included in the current training program in training children with autism, with the aim of achieving social interaction and aesthetic sense for them. Some auxiliary facilities and equipment in the field of treatment.
