A training program based on the Denver model of early intervention (ESDM ) to reduce some of the maladaptive behaviors in autistic children

The study aimed to verify the effectiveness of the training program based on the Denver model for early intervention in reducing some non-adaptive behaviors among children with autism disorder, as the study followed the experimental approach with a semi-experimental design based on one group with a pre-dimensional measurement, and the study was applied to a group of children with autism disorder aged from (3: 6) years, and their number is (5) children, including (3) males and (2) females, with an average chronological age of 508 and a standard deviation of 103. The study used a set of tools: the Gilliam Estimated Scale for Diagnosing the Symptoms and Severity of Autism Disorder, Third Edition (Arabization of Adel Abdel Allah Mohamed and Abeer Abul-Magd, 2020), the scale of some non-adaptive behaviors and its dimensions (withdrawal behavior - and disruptive behavior) (Prepared by: The researcher), and the training program based on the Denver model for early intervention (Prepared by: The researcher), and the results resulted in statistically significant differences between the average grades of children with autism disorder for the experimental group in the pre- and post-measurements on the behavior scale Non-adaptive in the direction of telemetry, and there are no statistically significant differences between the average grades of children with autism disorder for the experimental group in the dimensional and tracking measurements after the application of the training program based on the Denver model for early intervention,
