Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the effectiveness of an experimental program based on applied behavior analysis (ABA) to develop social interaction skills. This study utilized a quasi- approach based on a quasi-randomized design for a single group. The tools used were the Childhood Autism Assessment Scale (CARS-2) and the Social Interaction Skills Observation Card. The study was conducted on 20 participants (12 males and 08 females). The clinical and statistical significance of the gain ratios and the significance of the differences (T-test) were calculated using SPSS.V25. The study concluded that the ABA-based program is effective in developing social interaction skills among the study sample.
