Abstract
The increasing accessibility and utilization of mobile phone technology has greatly enhanced the lives of many individuals, including those with disabilities such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In this article the authors provide a comprehensive review of the literature in the use of mobile phone technology to deliver interventions to support the communication skills, socialization skills, and academic skills of individuals with ASD. The majority of the studies reviewed in this emerging field indicate the potential effectiveness of mobile technology as a medium to deliver interventions; however, additional research in this field is warranted. Implications for practitioners and researchers, along with potential areas for future research, will be discussed.
