فعالية برنامج تدريبي باستخدام الكمبيوتر لتنمية مهام نظرية العقل لدى الأطفال ذوي اضطراب التوحد
The aim of this research was to identify effectiveness of a training program using a computer to develop theory of mind tasks for children with autism disorder. The study sample consisted of (5) children (8 males, 2 females), and their ages ranged between (5-8) years. and their IQs (90-95) on the Stanford Benet scale. Tools of the study: Gilliam Scale for diagnosing autism (Arabization Adel Abdullah, 2006). The form of primary data for the child (by the researcher), the theory of mind tasks scale for children with autism disorder (by the researcher), the training program (by the researcher). The results revealed statistically significant differences between the scores mean ranks experimental group in the pre and post measurements in favor of the post measurement on the theory of mind tasks scale after applying the training program. The results also showed no statistically significant differences between the scores mean ranks of the experimental group in the post and follow up tests on the theory of mind tasks scale after applying the training program.
