Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the critical aspects and necessary elements of virtual teaching and learning for children with autism. Given the challenges faced by parents and caregivers in supporting the education of children with autism, it becomes crucial to develop effective strategies and platforms that ensure their educational progress. While efforts have been made to provide equal educational opportunities for children with autism, there is a lack of research on digital learning specifically tailored to their needs, and limited availability of accessible learning software resources. Therefore, it is essential to conduct a review of the key features and essential components of VTL platforms that support caregivers, as well as examine the integration techniques to facilitate VTL. This study employs a literature review methodology, involving a systematic search and selection of relevant articles from academic databases, followed by an analysis and synthesis of the findings to explore the utilization of ICT technology in VTL for children with autism. In addition, this review aims to assist future researchers by presenting a proposed VTL platform, thereby contributing to the design and development of effective VTL platforms for this unique group of learners.
