However, there are some effective teaching strategies that suitable for students with ASD to improve their communication and social skills needed to fulfil the basic requirements of daily activities. On the ground, the purpose of this finding is to focus on effective teaching practices for students with autism spectrum disorders as well as intended to serve as a guideline for teachers who are working with students with ASD.
