  • Abstract
    Children with learning disability such as autism who have serious impairments with social, emotional, and communication skills require a high degree of personalization in using the educational software develop for them. The aim of this paper is to propose block-based software development method and approach that enables the end-users (such as parents and teachers) to build application software to suit the different need of an autistic child. This research hopefully can produce useful tailorable learning software in order to assist educating autistic children.
