Abstract

Childhood is a subject of interest in educational, psychological and social studies because of the rapid changes that occur and the important nature and reflection of the experiences that are provided to the child and the subsequent stages of development. The children of the autism spectrum were extinguished for research. The importance of research was to identify the impact of animation on the cognitive and physical abilities of the research sample. The researchers prepared animated disks for the development of cognitive-motor abilities, as well as physical abilities, and then prepared and implemented educational modules according to the animation and then to determine the extent of their impact on children. 13 children of the autism spectrum aged 6-7 years, 3 children were withdrawn for the reconnaissance experiment and 5 children for the pilot group 5 for the control group at the Al-Nahal Institute in Baghdad. The results were statistically processed through the statistical system. After collecting, analyzing and discussing the findings, the researcher came to the conclusion that the findings that the educational units prepared by the two researchers using animation have a positive impact on the development of the cognitive-motor capabilities of children of the autism spectrum as well as have a positive impact on the development of some physical abilities of children of the autism spectrum.
