The effectiveness of the Discrete Attempts program in developing expressive language to reduce echolalia in children with autism spectrum disorder

The sample of the current study consisted of (10) children with autism spectrum disorder, whose ages ranged from (6-10) years, with an average My age is (7.86) years, and my standard deviation is (1.14), They were distributed into the experimental and control study groups, and the researchers used the Stanford-Binet scale, fifth picture, adapted and prepared by Muhammad Taha, Abdel Mawjoud Abdel Samie, and reviewed by Mahmoud Abu El-Nil (2011), and the Gilliam Rating Scale for diagnosing the symptoms and severity of autism spectrum disorder, third edition GARS. -3 Prepared by: Adel Abdullah Muhammad (2021), and the expressive language scale for autistic children, prepared by the researchers, the confrontational disorder scale for autistic children, prepared by the researchers, the training program based on the discrete attempts strategy, prepared by the researchers, The results of the study revealed the effectiveness of the training program using separate attempts in developing expressive language. The development of expressive language led to a reduction in speech disorder in children with autism spectrum disorder, and the effectiveness of the program continued after the follow-up period.
