Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as an important tool for promoting effective and inclusive education for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children with ASD may experience diverse needs related to communication, social interaction, attention, sensory processing, behaviour, and academic learning. ICT-based teaching and learning strategies can provide individualized, structured, interactive, and visually supported learning experiences that address these diverse needs. Digital technologies such as computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards, educational applications, multimedia resources, video modelling, digital storytelling, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, and online learning platforms can support the development of communication, academic, social, emotional, behavioural, and functional skills. ICT enables teachers to modify learning materials according to individual abilities, provide repeated practice, offer immediate feedback, and promote learner engagement and independence. Visual schedules, digital social stories, video demonstrations, and interactive activities can make abstract concepts and everyday routines easier to understand. ICT can also support assessment, progress monitoring, individualized educational planning, and collaboration between teachers and parents. However, effective ICT integration requires careful consideration of each child's abilities, interests, sensory needs, accessibility requirements, and learning objectives. Challenges such as limited access to technology, inadequate teacher training, excessive screen exposure, inappropriate technology selection, and difficulties in transferring digital learning to real-life situations also need to be addressed. Therefore, ICT should be used as a supportive educational tool rather than a replacement for teachers and meaningful human interaction. Appropriate and purposeful use of ICT can contribute significantly to creating accessible, engaging, and individualized learning opportunities for children with ASD.
