The Eight Hats Program for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder as a Ynmo Feature

An agreement was reached between Ynmo and Dr. Ahmed Mustafa Ezz El-Din for the Ynmo platform to be the exclusive provider of the Eight Hats Program. The Eight Hats Program is considered the first educational rehabilitation program designed for the Arab environment dedicated to rehabilitating and educating children with autism spectrum disorder in early childhood and early intervention.

What Is the Eight Hats Program?

The Eight Hats Program is considered a detailed guide to practical practices, arranged gradually from easiest to hardest, to develop a child's responses and abilities in the early intervention stage through the hats of communication, imitation, language, self-care, school readiness, and effective connection, in addition to clarifying how to assess children with autism spectrum disorder.

The Added Value of Using the Eight Hats Program:

This program is considered a guiding curriculum, as it guides educators and specialists through the steps to follow in working with and teaching children on the autism spectrum by providing a precise explanation of skills and highlighting the objective of each skill. It thus helps in developing a practical educational program for the child that suits their needs.

The program consists of eight main hats:

1- Visual Communication Hat: Contains (8) performance skills that contribute to developing the child's ability to maintain effective visual communication with others.

2- Visual-Motor Imitation Hat: Contains (13) performance skills that contribute to developing the child's ability to imitate the motor responses of others.

3- Receptive Language Hat: Contains (27) performance skills that contribute to developing the child's ability to understand language and respond to verbal instructions.

4- Expressive Language Hat: Contains (64) performance skills that contribute to developing the child's ability to express effectively and use spoken language.

5- . Abstract Language Hat.: Contains (10) performance skills that contribute to developing the child's ability to engage in abstract linguistic expression and use word semantics in various life situations.

6- School Readiness Hat: Contains (55) performance skills that contribute to developing the child's ability to write and read and preparing them to enter school.

7- Self-Care Hat: The self-care hat contains (82) performance skills that contribute to developing the child's ability to perform practical skills that enable them to live a more independent life.

8- Social Interaction Hat: Contains (15) performance skills that contribute to developing the child's ability to deal positively with social events and situations.

The Eight Hats Assessment:

The Eight Hats Applied Behavior Analysis assessment is considered an aid in planning and contributing to building behavioral educational programs by identifying the child's current level of performance, strengths, and weaknesses.

And because our fundamental learning premise is that all children with autism spectrum disorder can be helped to develop their skills and learning abilities, regardless of the level of deficit in their development, we at Ynmo have automated the Eight Hats Program for the educational rehabilitation of children with autism spectrum disorder and made it exclusively available on the Ynmo platform.
