The Effect of Integration in Kindergarten in Improving Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication among Children with Autism spectrum Disorder

This study aimed to identify the effect of integration in kindergartens on improving verbal and non-verbal communication among children with autism spectrum disorder by presenting the development of a group of seven children (3-4) years old who were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and then integrating them for a full year in kindergartens. The study, based on the Cars scale for estimating childhood autism, the verbal and non-verbal communication test, and the Brunet-Lèzine test, found that there are statistically significant differences between integration in kindergarten and both verbal and non-verbal communication, the degree of estimation of childhood autism, and the coefficient of the growth.
