The present study aimed at verifying the effectiveness of a behavioral knowledge program for the development of social communication skills and modification of the family environment in a sample of children with multiple disabilities and their mothers in Suez City, Egypt. The study was based on the experimental method. The study sample consisted of two groups (experimental - Children with multiple disabilities (simple autism concomitant with disabilities) ranged from 6-10 years of age to 65-75 degrees.The study tools consisted of the Stanford Intermediate Intelligence Scale, the fifth picture (by the Arab Psychological Testing Institute) D (by: Escoblr and others)- Scale Social Skills (by: researchers) - Family Environment Scale (by: researchers) and cognitive behavioral program proposed for the development of social skills (by: researchers). The researcher used to study the study hypotheses, arithmetical averages and standard deviations of the experimental and control groups, as well as the use of the method of analysis of variance. The theories in the study include role theory, social participation theory, communication theories in psychology and social sciences. The results of the study were summarized in the following points: There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control of the children in the measurement after the application of the program on the scale of social skills in the direction of the experimental group. There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group scores of children with multiple disabilities in the measurements before and after the application of the program on the scale of social skills in the direction of distance measurement. There are no statistically significant differences between the average grades of the experimental group of children with multiple disabilities in the dimensions of dimension And follow-up to the application of the program on the scale of social skills. There are statistically significant differences between the average scores of the tribal and the barricades of the experimental group (mothers) on the scale of the family environment of the multi-disability child. There are no statistically significant differences between the averages Type degrees group experimental mothers of children with multiple disabilities in the two measures after and observable for the application of the program on the Family Environment Scale. The study recommended: Training the families of children with multiple disabilities through workshops and training courses and engaging them in the planning and implementation of the educational program. Training children with multiple disabilities (autism associated with simple mental disability) on social skills at an early age, which helps them to rely on themselves in their daily lives. Conducting studies to develop training programs aimed at developing the social skills of children with multiple disabilities. | ||||
