Abstract: This study examined the effectiveness of a gamification-based training program in developing the social communication skills of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher prepared a training program based on gamification in developing some social communication skills, a test to measure some social communication skills, and a post-measuring test to measure the students' performance level at the end of the training program. The study followed the comparative descriptive approach due to its suitability to the objectives of the study. The results of the study indicated the effectiveness of the gamification-based program in developing some social communication skills among the study sample. The use of a gamification strategy has increased the development of some social communication skills in the post-achievement academic test as a whole compared to the traditional method.
