<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The purpose of the study is to </span><span lang="EN-US">explore the perspective of teachers on the use of tablet-based applications with young autistic children through a qualitative case study approach.</span><span lang="EN-US"> Eight schoolteachers were interviewed for the study. This paper reports the findings of teachers’ perceptions towards the Autism Aid application with their learners, which has been designed based on their cognitive ability and school curriculum, e.g., self-management skills. The </span><span lang="EN-US">findings</span><span lang="EN-US"> showed that generalization based on the design of tablet applications used could be problematic due to the limited number of participants, as well as the potential impact of teaching philosophies and previous experiences. Second, the results have shown that motivation, the human-model, and the use of technology in the classroom affected children’s learning outcomes.</span></p>
