Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the training program based on the social story strategy for developing self-determination skills among students with autism spectrum disorder. The population of the study consisted of all students with autism spectrum disorder in the Desired Hope Association for People with Disabilities in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and the sample of the study consisted of (6) students. The study used the quasi-experimental approach with one group. To achieve the objectives of the study, the ARCS scale for self-determination skills was used, Hassan Al-Masry (2018). The results of the study revealed, through comparing the students' performances in their pre and post-tests regarding to the ARKS scale and through their answers on the scale, the effectiveness of the training program based on the social story for developing the skills of self-determination among students with autism spectrum disorder. The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences after applying the program when significance level was (0.001). The result came in favor of the post-test.
