Published Paper Details:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent difficulties in communication, social interaction, and adaptive behavior. The increasing prevalence of autism worldwide has intensified the demand for innovative, inclusive, and evidence-based educational strategies that address the diverse learning needs of children with autism. Traditional instructional methods often fail to accommodate the heterogeneity of autism, necessitating flexible and learner-centered approaches. This paper presents a comprehensive review of innovative learning strategies designed to enhance the academic, social, and emotional development of children with autism. The study explores technology-assisted instruction, structured teaching models, adaptations of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), play-based and sensory integration approaches, peer-mediated interventions, and the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework. Additionally, emerging innovations such as gamification and artificial intelligence-driven personalized learning platforms are examined. The paper also discusses challenges including teacher preparedness, limited resources, and variability in learner profiles. The findings emphasize the need for collaboration among educators, parents, therapists, and policymakers to foster inclusive educational environments and ensure equitable learning opportunities for children with autism.
