abstract = {The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) on vocabulary learning for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who are non-native English speakers. A lack of educational strategies may hinder the children from benefitting the most from their education. Previous literature has demonstrated that CAI can be effective in enhancing language development. However, research on the applicability of CAI in the Malaysian context whom majority are non-native English speakers is limited. 29 children with ASD aged four to seven were recruited through purposive sampling from two branches of an autism centre. The present study employed an experimental mixed-design in which the children were assigned to two groups which are CAI and a control group (non-CAI) based on the centre they attended. The CAI group used computer with software program of First Word II while the control group received the conventional teaching instruction. Results of a 2 x 2 mixed ANOVA indicate that there were significant main effects of time (i.e., pre and post intervention) on both participants' receptive and expressive vocabulary learning. Potential explanations of these findings were discussed in this study. Implications, strengths, limitations, and recommendations for future research were also discussed. © 2018 IEEE.},

abstract = {The aim of this study is to develop and assess a mobile-based learning concerning the Picture Exchange Communication (PECS) for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children's caregivers. Being an inexpensive intervention, the PECS has been proposed by other parents who have practised it on their children with non-verbal and behavioral disabilities. The underlying motivator for this mobile application is to guarantee that autistic children can have a better alternative intervention through the PECS approach so that they would not rely on the therapist a great deal or go to the autism center which is often costly. This mobile application elaborates on the user requirements which include PECS introduction, the characteristics, initial preparations, strategies and the activities. Instructional System Design (ISD) functions as the methodologies that help create the mobile-based learning. The system design has five stages namely the analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. These stages are better known as ADDIE which ensure the user to attain the goals of the instruction for the entire process. To examine the content and the user interface design for this mobile application, a formative evaluation was conducted which was aided by the usability testing by questionnaires and short instructed interviews. With the application of the ADDIE principles and guideline of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), the best combination of causes of the AutiPECS had been developed properly. In sum, this research has achieved the objectives. The content had been assessed by the expert, and the caregivers know how to adopt D.I.Y concepts as they are working on the learning materials. Future works may also be able to take more advantage of the AutiPECS 2.0 version where they can develop the mobile-based learning of PECS in the extended content and pay more attention to more specific case studies so that the caregivers know how to use PECS with the special children everyday. © 2017 IEEE.},

abstract = {Touchscreen assistive learning numeracy application (TaLNA) is a touchscreen learning based application design for Children with Autism. TaLNA has been developed based on the concept of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) called discrete trial training (DTT). This app will be used by teachers and instructors as a platform to facilitate children with autism on learning basic numeracy development in special schools. Thus, this study will investigate the efficacy and the effect of touchscreen assistive learning towards the children with autism. This app will run on Android and Windows platform. At an economical price range, the touchscreen assistive learning will have an immediate cause and effect response that enables the children with autism to be more independent during the scaffolds learning process. Hence it is an essence enhancement for children with autism management in and outside the classroom. This app is embedded with animated and interactive learning which has the potential to keep the children with autism motivated and engaged. It is a hope that TaLNA may inspire the instructional learning environment for children with autism, which could avail boost in early childcare education (ECCE). © 2016 IEEE.},

abstract = {A lack of educational strategies may hinder students from benefiting the most from their education. The existing public or government schools do not adequately accommodate children with special needs in terms of providing them with good syllabuses as well interventions. Instead, various forms of pervasive developmental disorders are frequently placed in special education classes without an accurate diagnosis. This is something that needs to be rectified because every disability requires different needs and attention. In children with special needs such as children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), it warrants diverse teaching methods to be used. While the use of computer assisted instructions (CAIs) in the West has been found to be effective for children with ASD, research regarding the applicability of CAIs to cater for the learning process of children with special needs in the Malaysian context is still lacking. The present paper reviews previous studies that have employed CAIs to enhance language development of children with ASD. Following this, it recommends future research that incorporates the use of CAI to improve vocabulary learning of children with ASD who are non-native English speakers. © 2016 IEEE.},

abstract = {Autism, known as a spectrum disorder (ASD) is seen in early childhood or by three years of age. ASD is a neuro-developmental disorder characterized by deficits in social responsiveness, impairments in verbal and nonverbal communication. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the relevance of e-learning technology to the area of training the caregivers of autistic children. Our search focused on a number of data banks that contain numerous references to autism and home based treatment. Our results found only ten papers published since 2010 that met our criteria for inclusion. Six were demonstrations of e learning to teach caregivers and professionals the basics of applied behavior analysis and some techniques for skill training. The remainder of the studies fell into the telehealth category which involved direct communication between a professional and caregiver in the home. The studies suggest that home based service delivery is effective and offers both the social service system and parents considerable financial savings. The use of Web based platform (e learning and telehealth) is depicted as an aid to caregivers of autistic children. The need for more studies of the variables related to home based service delivery is noted. © 2015 IEEE.},

abstract = {Mobile devices had gained popularity among the special needs community. These mobile devices are the new and cool gadgets to be seen with, unlike the óld', complex and 'I-am-not-normal-looking' assistive devices. These mobile devices were said to serve as a communication device in the pocket, a learning device on the go and even a lifesaver for some. Among the features are its flexible multimedia content and storage, portability, mobility and affordability. The touch screen interface makes it appealing and simple to use, particularly for those who have weak fine motor skills. It offers practical communication solutions for autistic persons in relating to their families and others in the community. The flexibility and the advanced capabilities of mobile technology are opening new opportunities for further research in the area of computer-based intervention for children with ASD. Several anecdotal reports gave an early indication of the immense possibilities of how these devices could play a significant role in enhancing the quality of life of the children with ASD and their families. There is definitely lack of published research studies on the use of mobile technology with children with ASD. Due to the growing popularity of adopting mobile devices as assistive devices, more in depth research in warranted. © 2012 IEEE.},
