The quasi-experimental approach was used as it followed the design of pre-measurement, post-measurement and tracer group. Research and measure program effectiveness The results showed: There were statistically significant differences at a significance level of 0.05 between the averages of the experimental group in the pre and post measurement of executive functions (palm, emotional control, working memory, planning, time management, attention) in favor of the post measurement, and the absence of statistically significant differences between The mean scores of the experimental group in the postural and tracking measurement of executive functions (palmistry, emotional control, working memory, planning, time management, attention). And psychodrama has proven effective in improving some executive functions and reducing some behavioral problems in children with autism. (Published abstract)
