ABSTRACT: The purpose of the research is to discover the relationship between
spatial memory and autistic children. The research aims to find out how much
more effective is an intervention involving both words and artistic
representation in comparison to just words in teaching, social, emotional
vocabulary and general vocabulary to students ages 6 - 7 (1st
grade) that have autism. The autistic children will attend a study camp of five sessions to learn
new vocabulary. The goal of the research is to conclude if it is more effective
for autistic children to learn new vocabulary words by drawing them.
