Early Design for Fantasy Story Writing Mobile-based-application for Children with Autism Faculty of Creative Design and Business Digital, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Indonesia Abstract The article provides a thorough overview of the mobile based application named Fantasy Story Writing, which has been specifically designed for children with autism to support their literacy development. The application caters to individuals in the initial stages of literacy development, namely during the emerging literacy period, when users are first embarking on their reading journey. The application facilitates the development of foundational reading abilities, specifically phonemic awareness, by offering phonics instruction. This enables children to become familiar with and proficient in manipulating words. The application offers an audio-activated function that presents models for youngsters to follow to make condensed sounds of words, starting from the foundational phonics of each word. The post is focused on illustrating one of the anticipated features that will be included in the application. However, in its whole, the application would cater to the literacy development of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), encompassing several aspects such as phonemic awareness and understanding. Additionally, the application provides personalized education tailored to meet the unique learning requirements of each user. Based on the literature review conducted, it can be concluded that the development of the app holds promise and is deemed practical for widespread implementation in order to support the holistic growth and development of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), enabling them to thrive alongside their peers.
