This is because students with ASD learning capability for social skills was behind the average expectation of their typical peers. However, they can increase their knowledge and skills with the help of assistive technology such as mobile applications. Using the existing educational material, however, was not suitable for local students due to the different cultural norm. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop and investigate the effect of specifically-tailored culture-based social skills modules on mobile application and paper for teaching and learning of students with ASD that integrate more comprehensive component of social skills in a single study.
