Main Article Content
Abstract
Background and Aim: The objectives of this research are: (1) to develop a basic Thai consonant writing skill training program for children with autism using visual perception strategies, implemented through Construct 2, a 2D game development engine; and (2) to evaluate the content and multimedia appropriateness of the program by experts.
Materials and methods: The research instruments included: (1) a basic Thai consonant writing skill training program for children with autism using visual perception strategies, and (2) an expert evaluation form assessing the appropriateness of the program’s content and multimedia. The statistics used for data analysis were percentages, means, and standard deviation.
Results: The research findings revealed that: (1) the basic Thai consonant writing skill training program for children with autism using visual perception strategies was successfully developed for practical use (M = 4.23, S.D.= 0.40); and (2) experts rated the quality of the program's content and multimedia as high.
Conclusion: The core objective of this program is to develop basic Thai consonant writing skills in children with autism through activities specifically designed to suit the unique characteristics of this group. The goal is to support the development of writing abilities, which are fundamental to broader learning. Overall, the program is designed to meet the specific needs of children with autism by integrating principles from psychology, learning theory, and technology to systematically and effectively enhance their Thai consonant writing skills.
