abstract = {The emerging of mobile technology leads to the extensive used of mobile application for learning purposes of the children with autism. Autism is a neurological disorder that affects the children’s behavior and their ability to communicate and interact socially. A lot of studies have been conducted on using mobile application to assist the children with autism to increase their social and communication skills. Mobile applications are now widely used, not only for entertainment and social networking, but also for education. The used of mobile applications in education has extend from dictionaries to special purpose education. This paper reviews six mobile applications developed to assist the children with autism for various purposes. This review will provide a summary of initial studies and preliminary findings for future development of enhanced application. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.},

abstract = {Autism Social Aid (ASD) is a mental disorder that affects a person at an early age. People with ASD show deficiencies in daily living abilities that lead to impairment in their independence skill, restrict their social involvement which leads to poor living style. This rooted from their key personal behaviours, which are impairment in social and communication skills. However, with the availability of mobile technology that engages education through video modelling, it has become more practical for educators to train daily living skills for individuals with ASD. Consequently a Video Modelling Application called ‘Autism Social-Aid’ was created to provide a supplementary learning material envisioned to help stimulate children with ASD in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of video modelling in teaching five children diagnosed with medium-functioning ASD to understand social interaction skills. The children went through three trials of the evaluation phases. Results revealed that video modelling was effective as all of the children were able to display positive improvements from the first trial to the third trial. As a result, all of them have reduced an average 77% of the total prompt needed to remain focus on the video lesson and an average of 70% number of errors was reduced during the quiz evaluation. © 2018, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.},

abstract = {Autism is a neurological disorder that influences the growth of the brain, resulting struggles in learning, communication, and social interaction. There is no cure for autism, however excellent educational practices and prompt intervention leads to rapid improvements. One of the excellent approaches is the Visual Approach, which uses pictures or other visual items to communicate with autistic children, as they are visually oriented. Moreover, the usage of technology is able to build their interest in learning activities. Major impairment of children with autism is their difficulty in social interaction. The objective of this paper is to discuss on the preliminary study of social learning among children with autism. The methodology used to conduct the preliminary study is through questionnaires to parents and teachers of children with autism, which the questions are to verify the literature reviews. The result of testing discovers that the real life conditions of the children are similar with the finding from the literature reviews. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.},
