Even though it is preferred that the family take an active part in teaching, most parents who plan to work with their children have difficulties in how they teach. The previous studies demonstrate that when adequate support is provided to parents, they can teach their children the skills they need. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a family education program developed for teaching self-care skills to individuals with autism spectrum disorder. A mother and her child with autism spectrum disorder participated in the study. The study was designed with multiple probe with probe conditions across behaviors/skills which is one of the single subject research designs. The finding demonstrates that the mother was able to teach self-care skills (hand washing, toileting, and dressing) by using the least to most prompting teaching method and following the procedure properly during the teaching period. Additionally, the mother expressed her satisfaction with the teaching sessions. The results concluded that she realized the effect and importance of the systematic and planned teaching.  \nKeywords: autism spectrum disorder, self-care skills, family education, least-to-most prompting, family-centered teaching.  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2024.1046.3  \nSubmitted: 19 March 2024 Accepted: 19 June 2024 Published: 30 June 2024  \n1 This study was presented at 31st National Special Education Congress in Türkiye  \n2 PhD.

The main purpose in the education of individuals with ASD is to enable them to lead their life independently or with minimal support and to increase their adaptation to social life. For this purpose, it is essential to support the development of individuals with ASD by using strategies and techniques in their intervention programs that aim to meet their needs in areas where they have deficiencies (Ardic & Cavkaytar., 2014). As in every individual, the first step of independence is taken by meeting the most basic needs necessary for daily life by the individuals themselves. Acquiring the skills that are essential for daily life not only provides a successful and quality life for individuals but also creates a positive effect on the life of those around these individuals (Cannella-Malone et al., 2006; Keen et al., 2010; Minjarez et al., 2013) .  \nMany of these skills, which have an impact on the quality of daily life (eg., feeding, using the toilet, bathing, and dressing), usually develop spontaneously by observing and modeling adults’behavior using cognitive skills (Spriggs et al., 2017) . Individuals with ASD may have difficulties in learning and generalizing skills that include the needs of daily life, as in most academic and social skills. The findings of the studies show that individuals with ASD have difficulties in performing self-care skills (Eaves & Ho, 2008; Flynn & Healy, 2012; LaVesser & Berg, 2011) and that the limitations in the development of these skills make it difficult to parti","cbCaiuX6YwLKpg7F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuX6YwLKpg7F","pdf",575787,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates how effective a family education program is for teaching self-care skills to children with autism spectrum disorder.\"},{\"question\":\"Who participated in the research?\",\"answer\":\"A mother and her child with autism spectrum disorder participated in the study.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the self-care skills targeted?\",\"answer\":\"The mother taught hand washing, toileting, and dressing using a least-to-most prompting approach.\"}]","The Effectiveness of Family-Centered Teaching in Developing Self-Care Skills for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder | PDF",1792095836]
