The application was carried out two days a week for two weeks. The applications were completed in four sessions: "shadow finding", "matching", "patterning" and "completion". The applications were carried out in an empty practice class under the supervision of a teacher in the classroom where the children were educated. The children took turns coming to the application class with their teachers from their classrooms, and one-to-one application was made by the researchers. During the application, the teachers both supported the researcher in the orientation of the children to the activities and were in the application class as an observer. Children were not interfered with during the application, and they were expected to experience the activities to be done by noticing them. For children who did not understand the application, the researcher made an exemplary application and became a model for the child, and then the child was given the opportunity to experience the activity again. The applications were made to the children twice. In each session, the activity done in the previous session was repeated and the children were reinforced. The applications took approximately 10-15 minutes for each session and child. Since children with autism will have more health problems than children with normal development in general, the pandemic process was taken into consideration, shielding, mask and gloves were worn during the application, and cleaning rules were meticulously observed. In Figure 5, visuals related to the implementation of coding activities are presented. Figure 5: Implementation of coding activities b) Measures Dunn Sensory Profile, Interview Form, Questionnaire Form and Concept Evaluation Form were used in the research. Dunn Sensory Profile: Developed by Winnie Dunn (1999), Kayihan et al. (2015), the assessment tool, adapted to Turkish culture, measures the sensory profile of children aged 3-10 years. The test is completed by the person (parent or caregiver) with whom the child has one-to-one contact in his daily life. The Sensory Profile Test consists of three parts: sensory processing, modulation (concentration), behavioral and emotional responses.
