According to the findings, the program is effective, permanent and feasible for the self-care development of children with ASD. Conclusion and Recommendations: The program was found to be effective for the self-care development of the child with ASD and feasible for the mother. [...]it can be recommended to extend this study by studying with more children with ASD and their mothers, and conduct other studies with the participation of the father. [...]the interaction of family members with each other and the quality of the support they will offer to their children increase (Dillenburger et al.. Karaca (2021) stated that when parents receive education, they can be beneficial in teaching skills to their children. [...]early intervention programs are developed and implemented.Early intervention programs enable children who are disadvantaged or developmentally at risk to benefit from education and learning activities with family participation and aim to reduce the negative effects of deficiencies (Bekman & Koçak, 2011).
