Forty autistic children aged 6-12 years old receiving inpatient services and their family who met the inclusion criteria were matched pair and then randomly assigned into experimental group and control group, 20 subjects in each group. The experimental group received the behavior therapy with family involvement program for 4 weeks. The control group received usual care.

All instruments were content validated by a panel of 5 professional experts. Interrater reliability of aggressive behaviors scale was .81,.85,.90,.92 and .93 respectively, and internal consistency reliability of behavior therapy performance scale was .84. The Wilcoxon was used for data analysis.
Results: 1) Aggressive behaviors of autistic children after using the behavior therapy with family involvement were significantly lower than those before, at the .05 level. 2) Aggressive behaviors of autistic children who received behavior therapy with family involvement were significantly lower than those who received regular nursing care, at the .05 level.
