Abstract

Autism is a condition in which children have difficulties interacting with others or exhibit differences in how they interact with people. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may respond well to web-based learning because computers can offer features such as repetition, visual stimuli, and independent interactions that appeal to them. However, there have been limited studies on websites (behavioral and educational), especially outside of institutional settings. The aim of this research is to assess the effectiveness of interactive digital programs used to teach individuals with learning difficulties, tailored to their capabilities and needs. Modern technology has provided interactive and educational opportunities through picture books. This research involves designing an educational website for children with autism, including a program to teach them basic concepts necessary for daily life, such as the Arabic alphabet, to enable them to form complete words and, consequently, complete sentences. Additionally, the program teaches numbers, enabling children to count and perform arithmetic problems such as counting money and telling time. The main interface page displays eight images that change every seven seconds automatically or via navigation links on the right and left sides of the image. A six-page website was designed, covering topics such as what autism is, symptoms, diagnosis, and more. Web technologies were utilized in the website design, with HTML as the primary language. To analyze some aspects of this study's results, the use of the computer screen is intended to capture the autistic child's attention, helping them remain in one place and stay focused on the screen for as long as possible. If a mother or female teacher can keep a child engaged with the screen for 5-10 minutes, it is considered a significant achievement.
