Samples consisted of 11 autistic children and their parents who were the clients of Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital. The research instruments composed of a handbook for development promotion based on DIR/Floortime Techniques, a record form for autistic children behaviors, an assessment form for results of treatment, an assessment form for basic development based on DIR/Floortime Techniques, and a descriptive assessment form for development based on DIR/Floortime Techniques. The implementation and data collection were conducted from October, 2013 to March, 2015. Statistics used for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired <em>t</em>-test.</p> <p>Results revealed that at 6-month, 12-month, and 18-month after entering development promotion activities based on DIR/Floortime Techniques, 1) autistic children had statistically significant higher total mean score of 1st-6th development than before entering development promotion activities (<em>t</em> = 11.002, <em>p</em> < .001; <em>t</em> = 5.857, <em>p</em> < .001 and <em>t</em> = 10.508, <em>p</em> < .001, respectively); 2) autistic children had statistically significant higher mean score of result of treatment for speech, language, and communication than before entering development promotion activities (<em>t</em> = 4.218, <em>p</em> < .01; <em>t</em> = 6.528, <em>p</em> < .001 and <em>t</em> = 6.708, <em>p</em> < .001, respectively); 3) autistic children had statistically significant higher mean score of result of treatment for sociability than before entering development promotion activities (<em>t</em> = 6.708, <em>p </em>< .001; <em>t</em> = 8.409, <em>p</em> < .001 and <em>t</em> = 14.861, <em>p</em> < .001, respectively); and 4) autistic children had statistically significant higher mean score of result of treatment for sensori-motor perception than before entering development promotion activities (<em>t</em> = 5.787, <em>p</em> < .001; <em>t</em> = 7.904, <em>p</em> < .001 and t = 13.416, p < .001, respectively).</p> <p>This study suggested that health care providers and parents should continuously apply DIR/Floortime Techniques for activating development<em> among </em>autistic children.</p>}, number={Suppl. 1}, journal={Journal of Phrapokklao Nursing College, Chanthaburi}, author={สิงห์สาธร ดารินทร์ and สุขส่ง วันเพ็ญ and เพิ่มศิริวาณิชย์ วุฒิชัย}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={104–122} }
