The Effectiveness of the Father Education Program in Teaching the Basic Mathematical Skills to a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Özet
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of training applied by the father attained the parent education program on teaching the basic mathematical skills to the child with autism spectrum disorder. Within the scope of this research, an educational program that includes how to apply probing, systematic instruction, and simultaneous prompt teaching has been prepared. After the training, the father was also watched videos modeling how to instruct the first two skills to teach his child. During the implementation, the feedback was provided to the father related to teaching the first two skills by the researcher. the findings of the research, which was designed according to the multiple-probe design across skills, have shown that the father's simultaneous prompting was effective in learning the basic mathematical skills for his child. It was seen that there was an increase in treatment fidelity with the performance feedback presented to the father. It was observed that the father, without taking a clue and feedback, applied the simultaneous prompting with high reliability in the last skill teaching.
