If adequate intervention is not provided to children with ASD on time, then they may face many difficulties for example in academic work. They face social isolation and may develop additional challenging behaviors. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is one of the most commonly used supported treatments for autism spectrum disorder. Discrete Trial Training (DTT) is one of the most structured Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) types. DTT is the best standardized therapy for ASD. The ABA explores human interactions with their environment over time and develops interventional strategies to diminish the decline in the troublesomeness of social behavior among individuals with ASD. DTT through video training Program will be an effective in improving the communication skills of children with ASD. The video training program offers excellent accessibility and is inexpensive because it can be administered remotely and at home as well. It also reduces the resource barrios.

DTT was provided through a video training program using digital technology with informed consent from their caregivers/parents. The sample size was 10. Both groups contain 5 participants. The treatment group will be trained on DTT through the video training program. Sessions were conducted thrice a week for 45 minutes. The duration of the experiment was 12 weeks.
