      ab: Purpose: This study proposes a collaborative model involving teachers and children, to enhance the religious learning progress of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in educational settings. The primary objective is to design a mobile-based assistive technology application, MyQuranic, tailored to monitor and support the learning journey of these children. Method: Qualitative methods were employed to identify the needs and requirements in developing the MyQuranic application. Interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with UI designers, subject matter experts, and mobile app specialists. Thematic analysis was applied to interpret the data, resulting in the emergence of findings based on key themes. To ensure the active involvement of end-users, including individuals with autism, co-design principles were incorporated in the design process. This collaborative approach aimed to create a user-friendly, contextually relevant, and effective technology solution, emphasising the unique perspectives and needs of individuals with ASD. Results: The findings are expected to contribute valuable insights to the broader community, particularly researchers focused on autism-related studies. The design principles have potential for teachers to monitor the learning engagement and interest of children with autism in religious studies using the MyQuranic application Conclusion: This study underscores the significant role of assistive technology in the education of children with autism, specifically within the religious education context. By employing co-design principles, the MyQuranic application strives to enhance social interaction skills, address individual needs, and contribute to the overall advancement of educational support for individuals with ASD.
