Abstract:
The developmental disorders is one of the issues that attractedsignificantly lots of attentionin recent times due to the increasing awarenessof the importance of the discovery of these disorders and finding treatmentfor them in early time. Especially when the impact of these disorders extendsto include all aspects of the life of the individual and their capabilities, skills andmethods in coping with the environmental needs. This leads to the formation of a special type of identity that characterizesthe individual from the others. These disorders include : Autism spectrum disorder and Down syndrome, Due to the rights of the children with autism spectrum disorder and those with Down syndrome to have treatment and the proper training and education and as a result of the close link between the training andeducation of these children and to determine their skill level, many questions are aroused about their skills, especially audio - visual and motor skills, which are linked more with the learning skills. Also, whether the disorders they suffer from have affected these skills in one way or another? This Prompts the researcher to do the present research which aimsat : First : Diagnosing children with autism spectrum disorder.Second : identifying : 1. Statistically significant differences in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder according to the variable of sex (male, female).2. Statistically significant differences in the prevalence of Down syndrome, according to the variable of sex (male, female).3. Statistically significant differences in the level of autism spectrum disorder according to the variable of sex (male, female).4. The audio - visual and motor skills for children with : A.Autism spectrum disorder.B. Down syndrome.5. Statistically significant differences in the level of audio - visual and motor skills according to : A The disturbance pattern (autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome).(B) Sex (male, female).To achieve these goals, the researcher builda scale to diagnose children autism spectrum disorder and build a test for audio skills and a test for motor skills and adopt Morrison Gardner test for visual skills. Thevirtual honesty and sincerity of the construction of the tools are verified. The stability is verified in two ways re - test and the equation of Alpha - Cronbach or Kiodor Richardson equation that is used in bi - answer tests. After verifying the validity and reliability of the tools the scale of diagnosing autism spectrum disorder is applied on a sample consisting of (225) male and female children who are in government and private special education schools in the cities of Baghdad and Hilla. Tests of the audio visual and motor skills have been applied to the group of 330 children, including a sample (192) children with autism spectrum disorder and 138 children with Down syndrome.After collecting the data and treating it statistically by using (mean, standard deviation, variance, chi square test,t - test samples for one sample, Pearson correlation coefficient, the contrast duo analysis and ETA coefficient square), the present study reached the following conclusions : 1. Diagnosing (192) children with autism spectrum disorder, including 163 males and 29 females There are statistically significant differences in the prevalence of autism spectrumdisorderamong males and femalesand specially for males.3. The lack of statistically significant differences in the prevalence of Down syndrome among males and females. .4. There are no statistically significant differences in the level of autism spectrumdisorderamong males and females.5. The existence of significant differences in the level of audio and visual skills among the children with autism spectrum disorder and those with Down syndrome and especially children with Down syndrome.6. No statistically significant differences are detected in the level of audio visual and motor skills according to sex variable.7. There are no statistically significant differences in the level of motor skills among children with autism spectrum disorder and those with Down syndrome.In light of these results a number of recommendations and suggestions are introduced.
