Abstract

This research aims to develop a mobile application(app) in the Android system, to aid in mathematics learning for in autistic children. We used the MIT APP Inventor Tools Beta, Google Chrome and Inkspace, including images and sounds with free. In addition, ISO/IEC9126 standard was used. The application has five screens: loading, avatar selection, the application scenario (questions and answers) and authorship information. The scenario screen is composed by three questions with four answers for each arithmetic operation. The application assessment was made by three experts: 1 in software development, 1 in mobile interface design and 1 math teacher focused on special education, which analyzed through a satisfaction questionnaire. At the end the application was considered by experts as playful, colorful and pleasant sounds, there by can influence the autistic child in uses it, so practicing simulated exercises. In the next step the application will be tested on autistic children.
