Abstract
In order to promote the aspect of behavior modification in special education, this study aims to produce an innovative and useful tool that examines the development and assessment of a mobile learning application targeted at behavior modification in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study develops a mobile application integrating chaining techniques for daily activities using a Research and Development (R&D) methodology with the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) model. Findings indicate that the application significantly improves adaptive behaviors in children with ASD. However, limitations include the small sample size and the focus on specific behavioral issues, which may affect generalizability. This research contributes original value by providing a specialized educational tool designed to enhance the learning experiences and behavioral outcomes of children with ASD, supporting educators and parents in inclusive education settings
