There is no cure for autism, however excellent educational practices and prompt intervention leads to rapid improvements. One of the excellent approaches is the Visual Approach, which uses pictures or other visual items to communicate with autistic children, as they are visually oriented. Moreover, the usage of technology is able to build their interest in learning activities. Major impairment of children with autism is their difficulty in social interaction. The objective of this paper is to discuss on the preliminary study of social learning among children with autism. The methodology used to conduct the preliminary study is through questionnaires to parents and teachers of children with autism, which the questions are to verify the literature reviews. The result of testing discovers that the real life conditions of the children are similar with the finding from the literature reviews. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. date: 2015 publisher: Springer Verlag official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84950107133&doi=10.1007%2f978-3-319-25939-0_37&partnerID=40&md5=bd88f141aca1276bee7be8208da907e2 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-319-25939-0₃₇ full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) volume: 9429 pagerange: 420-431 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783319259383; 9783319259383 issn: 03029743 citation: Azahari, I.N.N.A. and Ahmad, W.F.W. and Hashim, A.S.
