Abstract


 Autism is a disease, which affects the child's ability to communicate with those around them and develop mutual relations with them and hence it needs to have a quick and efficient treatment technique. The earliest age of ASD diagnosis is between 4.5 and 5.5 years. Approximately 6 per 1000 children under eight years suffer from ASD. Statistics show an annual increase of the disease about 3,500 cases of children with autism in the Sultanate of Oman. The aim of this work is to design an Interactive Learning System based Windows Application for teaching the children with Autism. The Windows Application is developed using C# which will be useful to teach the children different things such as Alphabets, Numbers, Fruits, Vegetables and many more. The application is a bi-lingual application (English and Arabic). The application can be used also to test the progress of the children. Also, develop interactive materials that help children with special needs for enhancing their communicating and thinking. In addition develop interactive materials that help children with special needs for enhancing their communication and rational skills which could help them to integrate into the society.
