This study evaluated the effectiveness of the TEACCH program in enhancing independent living skills among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at Alia Center. Employing a mixed-methods design, the study involved five children with ASD (four boys and one girl) aged between 5 and 7 years. Data was collected using a variety of tools developed by the researcher, including an independent living skills scale, a parent questionnaire, and an observation form completed by professionals working with the children. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including means and percentages, while qualitative data were examined through narrative analysis. The results demonstrated that the TEACCH program effectively supported the development of independent skills in areas such as self-care, communication, and managing time and tasks. Based on these findings, the study recommends the continued implementation of the TEACCH program in future training cycles, alongside regular evaluations to monitor its effectiveness and the introduction of modifications as needed to enhance program outcomes.
