Abstract

Education is a crucial factor in everyone’s growth. Everything from tiny organisms up to the mightiest creatures utilizes the powerful benefits of learning. As such, people can devote their whole lives to learning about diverse topics endlessly, encompassing both academic subjects and practical knowledge gained from everyday experiences. This study highlights the advantages of teaching graphic design software to children with general autism. It can also help teachers and parents explore new methods of teaching vital things to those with certain disabilities. This method of applying design program in teaching autism children can be explored by schools and implemented in a special class, or even in a regular curriculum specifically for those with unique needs. It can also be useful for those without special needs, as it promotes a more active and creative learning environment for all children. This research conducted qualitative research through interviews with 10 special needs teachers within schools in Taif City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), along with 10 parents of children with autism. Recently, KSA educational institutions have attempted to further understand those with autism and explore opportunities to make their lives easier in terms of education. This study focuses on enhancing opportunities for children with autism by highlighting their own abilities, preferences, and interests in graphic design programs. It also helps to further shape future development plans and policies to support autistic children more effectively.
