This study focuses on numeracy skills for children with autism. It is crucial to conduct this study due to the increasing number of children with autism based on statistics data from the Malaysia Social Welfare Department. Children with autism have a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain and causes problems with thinking, feeling, and language. Thus, a lot of studies have been conducted related to the social and literacy skills of the children with autism. However, numeracy skills are also important to the children and the advancement in mobile technology creates new methods to equip the children with numeracy skills. In order to develop a mobile numerical application that is able to fulfil the needs of these children, a proposed conceptual model will be constructed. The proposed conceptual model consists of learning theories, learning principles, multimedia elements together with colour psychology, number skills, language, gestures and contents. © 2015 IEEE. date: 2016 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84995543505&doi=10.1109%2fISMSC.2015.7594035&partnerID=40&md5=5fb8809b855fbcb1904d50c6ec0646b2 id_number: 10.1109/ISMSC.2015.7594035 full_text_status: none publication: 2015 International Symposium on Mathematical Sciences and Computing Research, iSMSC 2015 - Proceedings pagerange: 99-103 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479978946 citation: Aziz, N.S.A. and Ahmad, W.F.W.
