| Summary: | Technology has been receiving much attention in special education, resulting in visual support
being used as an intervention tool among students with autism spectrum disorder. A digital
visual support intervention is introduced as a visual representation to aid independence when
completing a series of tasks. Students’ motivation and engagement during the task are further
examined during the task. This paper proposes a review of the influence of engagement and
motivation on digital visual support interventions. The researcher will employ Design and
Development Research (DDR) with three respective phases: a) Need Analysis Phase; b) Design
and Development Phase; and c) Evaluation Phase. The expected outcome of this study will
benefit the autism students, educators, researchers, and policymakers for future research in
the field of special education intervention.
