abstract = {Nowadays, there are various types of learning materials used in the process of teaching and learning of Al-Quran including the use of mobile application. However, the features of mobile application that are appropriate for the process of memorizing the Al-Quran, especially for the needs of children with autism is still limited. Thus, this paper proposes an interactive Al-Quran mobile application namely iHafaz to facilitate autism children recite and memorizing Al-Quran. A takrir (repetition) technique in Islamic learning approach is embedded in this mobile application in order to assist autism children memorizing the Al-Quran easily. This mobile application consists of two main modules which are Hafaz (Memorize) and Latihan (Exercise). Result from the user testing shows that 72.4% of respondents agree that the takrir technique embedded in the mobile application able to improve the usability of the mobile application in helping the autism children to recite and memorize the Al-Quran easily. © 2017 The Authors.},

abstract = {Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has become more prevalent nowadays. One of the biggest challenges in providing services for ASD kids' learning is by overcoming their behavioural skills. This paper presents a study regarding the use of a mobile application on five children affected with Autism Spectrum Disorder, assisted by a teacher in assessing their classroom behavioural skills. Social Stories and digital storytelling are both utilized in this research to support and assist each child response to the road safety awareness. The study shows that social stories and digital storytelling have the potential to promote positive attribute in children' behaviour, not only in terms of their engagement with the road safety awareness, but their interest in learning the content also increases. © 2016 IEEE.},

abstract = {Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC) has widely gained the common attention from the public especially autistic communities. Individuals with ASC are said to have poor verbal skills and this affects them in carrying out their daily basis which they are afraid to expose themselves to the world due to their problems. ASC is diagnosed among children ranging from ages 5-12 years old and they suffer from the abnormal functioning of the brain which in turn causes lack of development activities. Thus, studies have shown that diagrammatic approaches help children with ASC to overcome their issues and improvise their visual and verbal skills. Picture Exchange Communication System or PECS consists of a series of illustrated cards and each cards has its own illustration with a caption on it. These children will understand the cards and they can compile several other cards to form sentences. This paper presents a mobile application called the Prospect, which has been developed using the agile development model for digital representation of PECS. The application is hoped to enhance the learning process and a better yielding results. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.},

abstract = {The use of mobile devices in teaching and learning has intensified in this era of information and communication technology. The utilization of mobile learning application created learning beyond the boundaries of four wall of the traditional classrooms. The mobile learning application can be used everywhere at any time. This fits the restraint of the children with autism. The development lifecycle used to develop the working prototype, was adapted from ADDIE lifecycle which consists of five phases; analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. This paper objectively presents the development phase of the Math4Autism development lifecycle. Math4Autism is a prototype of mobile learning application developed for the children with Autism to learn basic numbers, basic shapes and sizes. This paper discusses the tools used in developing the working prototype and presents the menu hierarchy for the prototype. The working prototype was tested to ensure its functionality works and free from errors. The result shows that the working prototype is ready to be tested to the real users. © 2016 IEEE.},

abstract = {Basic literacy and numeracy proficiency are two important skills which prepare and shape students for lifelong learning. This study focuses on numeracy skills for children with autism. It is crucial to conduct this study due to the increasing number of children with autism based on statistics data from the Malaysia Social Welfare Department. Children with autism have a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain and causes problems with thinking, feeling, and language. Thus, a lot of studies have been conducted related to the social and literacy skills of the children with autism. However, numeracy skills are also important to the children and the advancement in mobile technology creates new methods to equip the children with numeracy skills. In order to develop a mobile numerical application that is able to fulfil the needs of these children, a proposed conceptual model will be constructed. The proposed conceptual model consists of learning theories, learning principles, multimedia elements together with colour psychology, number skills, language, gestures and contents. © 2015 IEEE.},

abstract = {Autism is a neural syndrome that complicates the growth of mind, producing challenging result in communicating, social interaction, and impairment in behaviour. Since there is no cure for autism, prompt interventions and effective educational exercises allow children to achieve massive improvement. During the teaching and learning process, children with autism require particular consideration and attention. Thus, with the implementation of information technology in special education, the teaching and learning process could to become more efficient. Struggle in social interaction skill is known as one of the main drawback encountered by children with autism. Therefore, a mobile social application is proposed to help the children to develop social interaction skills. Nonetheless, this paper only deliberates on the design phase mobile application development. It is developed for children with medium functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who are learning basic interaction skills. The application's design phase implements the results from the analysis phase, which has concluded earlier. Five evaluators were involved in the heuristic evaluation, in order to enhance the user interface of the mobile social application. The outcomes from the evaluation conclude that all evaluators has agreed with all heuristics. Not to mention, beneficial recommendations were also achieved from the evaluation. The future work of this paper will be the development phase of the mobile social application. © 2016 IEEE.},

abstract = {The use of information technology in special education can enhance the ability in learning process. The purpose of this study is to compare the experience of children with Down Syndrome (DS) and children with autism in using a mobile numerical application named MathDS. Five children with DS and six children with autism involved in this study. The results indicate that the students with autism are more confident and satisfied with the application compared to the children with DS. Furthermore the analysis shows that the children with autism can easily understand on how to use the application and can get familiar with the product easily compared to children with DS. This might be because of the characteristics and also the behavior of the children. Copyright © 2015 ACM.},
