-فعالية العلاج السلوكي (برنامج تيتش) للتخفيف من العدوانية لدى الطفل التوحدي : دراسة عيادية لأربعة حالات بالمركز النفسي البيداغوجي للأطفال المعاقين ذهنيا-عين تموشنت

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of behavioral therapy (TEACCH program) in reducing aggressive behavior in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The sample consisted of four diagnosed cases of autism. A combination of clinical and quasi-experimental methodologies was adopted, using a set of clinical tools for data collection, including: an observation grid, clinical interview, direct observation, as well as the Autism Spectrum Disorder scale to determine the severity level of each case. The Aggression Scale was also applied in both pre- and post-treatment assessments. Based on the hypothesis results, it was found that the fourth case responded better to the treatment compared to the others due to younger age. In other words, the younger the child, the more effective the treatment response. Therefore, the hypotheses related to aggressive behavior were scientifically supported.
