Öz:
chool adjustment throughout the early years of formal schooling has been examined onscientific studies for various reasons. Because it predicts certain parts of school successin later years, school adjustment has been suggested to become a focus of research. Althoughthere are numerous factors affecting school adjustment, these factors appear to becategorised as being related to child, family and school or programme. This study examinesthe relationship between the severity levels of autism in preschool children and theirsocial interaction behaviours characteristic to autism, and their school adjustment. For thispurpose, data gathered from a total of 40 students, 6 girls and 34 boys. The age range ofthe children was 44 to 78 months. Findings reveal that severity levels of disability and socialinteraction behaviours that are characteristic to ASD predict the school adjustment of preschoolchildren with ASD by 54% in the category of Classroom Participation and by 44%negatively and significantly in the category of Positive Orientation. The findings were discussedbased on the literature findings.
