The Effectiveness of a Treatment Program Based on Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) Technique in Improving Perception of Sensory-Motor Among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

The research aimed to identify the effectiveness of a treatment program based on the audio-visual entrainment (AVE) technique in improving the perception of Sensory-Motor  in a sample of children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder. pre-diagnosed from the officially registered centers in Baghdad

(Al-Karkh-Al-Rasafa). The experimental group reached (7) children, (5) males, and (2) females, while the control group was (7) children, (6) males, and (1) female.

The search instrument consisted of preparing the perception of the Sensory-Motor scale, and psychometric properties were verified for it, and the reliability of Cronbach's alpha was (0.90). The program consisted of (36) session, (3) sessions per week, which lasted (21) minutes. after completing the program sessions, a post-test was applied.

The results showed no statistically significant differences between the pre-test and the post-test of the perception of the Sensory-Motor scale
