Abstract
Some students with autism may have difficulty acquiring mathematical knowledge. However, the use of technology could help them to understand this knowledge more easily. This study therefore aims to obtain a list of mobile applications with mathematical content that are not only recommendable for users with autism, but can also be used by them in an autonomous manner. To this end, 44 applications were chosen, which were used by 28 students with autism in Primary and Secondary Education. On the one hand, it was found that satisfying the accessibility criteria does not guarantee the suitability of the application for this type of user, since 15.9% of the applications chosen could not be fully used by the trial group with autonomy below 50%. On the other hand, a list is provided of 38 applications with mathematical content, recommended or highly recommended for users with autism, 29 of which can be used by them autonomously.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
