The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a UDL-based program for enhancing the social communication abilities and expressive and receptive language skills of children with ASDs. Finding out how much the program still works to help autistic children with their expressive, receptive and social communication skills after a month of participation. A total of 20 males and females made up the study sample, which was randomly split into two groups: an experimental group (n = 10) and a control group (n = 10). The study found that, in the post-measurement on the expressive and receptive language scale and social communication skills, there were statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the control and experimental groups in favor of the experimental group. The study also showed that there are statistically significant differences in favor of the post-measurement between the experimental groups mean scores in receptive language for expressive language and social communication abilities before and after the programs implementation. Additionally, the experimental groups mean rankings on the expressive and receptive language scale and its social communication abilities in the post-test and follow-up assessments show no statistically significant alterations.
