فعالية برنامج قائم على فنيات تحليل السلوك التطبيقي لتحسين اللغة البراجماتية لدى الأطفال ذوي اضطراب اللغة النوعي
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a program based on applied behavior analysis techniques to improve the pragmatic language of children with specific language disorder. To achieve this goal, the study sample was selected, which consisted of (6) students with specific language disorder who have deficiencies in pragmatic language, aged between (5-8) years. The study relied on the one-group experimental method. The researcher applied the following tools for the study: Intelligence Scale- Stanford Binet The Fifth Image “Arabization and Codification by Safwat Farag (2012), Specific Language Disorder Diagnosis Scale (Prepared by Abdel Aziz Al-Khakhsab, Muhammad Abdo Hosseini, and Zainab Reda), A scale for diagnosing pragmatic language disorder for children prepared by Abdel Aziz Al-Khashab, Mahmoud Al-Tantawi, and Reda Khairy, (2015). The training program based on applied behavior analysis techniques to improve the pragmatic language of children with specific language disorder (prepared by the researcher). The study found that there are statistically significant differences between the average ranks of the scores of the children of the experimental group before and after implementing the program on the scale for diagnosing pragmatic language disorder for children, in favor of the post-measurement. There are statistically significant differences between the average ranks of the scores of the children of the experimental group before and after implementing the program on the specific language disorder diagnosis scale in favor of the post-measurement. There are no statistically significant differences between the average ranks of the scores of the children of the experimental group in the post- and follow-up measurements (one month later) on the scale for diagnosing pragmatic language disorder for children. There are no statistically significant differences between the average ranks of the experimental group’s children’s scores in the post and follow-up measurements on the specific language disorder diagnosis scale. There is a positive, statistically significant relationship between children's performances on a scale for diagnosing pragmatic language disorder for children and on a scale for diagnosing specific language disorder.
