Assistive technology is a teaching aid material used specifically in autism education to enhance teaching and learning. The study analyzes various strategies for implementing assistive technology in autism education. The study focuses on researching the understanding of teachers, the utilization of assistive technology, and the impact of assistive technology on autism education. The analysis uses citations from reputable sources like Scopus, Google Scholar, ERA, and WoS. Hence, the findings of the conducted analysis and research might serve as a valuable point of reference for researchers, the Ministry of Education, or future researchers. However, in order to establish the validity of the themes gained from survey surveys conducted in Malaysia, it is necessary to undertake an empirical study with high impact.
