Abstract

The aim of the research is to verify the effectiveness of educational electronic games in developing some health skills among a sample of autistic children in Lattakia Governorate, their ages ranged between (5-6) years, and the research sample amounted to (12) autistic children, which were divided into an experimental group consisting of (8) children and a control group consisting of (8) children.

The results of the study also showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental group children in the post application and their average scores in the delayed application on the health skills test.
