This research objective is to design and develop an adaptive mobile based learning in Malay Language for parents or caregivers on how to teach their autistic children by applying Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA). The main purpose of developing this mobile application is to make sure that autistic children could get a better intervention through ABA approach so that they would not depending on the therapist or need go to the autism centre which is costly. Basically, this mobile application explains the user requirements which is include the introduction of ABA, the characteristics, early preparations, strategies and the activities. All of the contents were present in words explanations, images and videos. Moreover, user interface design and usability principle also include in creating this mobile based learning as it is the important element to develop an effective mobile based learning because those element will help this application usable for the target user. Instructional System Design was used as the methodologies to create the mobile based learning. The system design included five stages which is analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. All of these stages also known as ADDIS and its main purpose is to ensure user will achieve the goals of the instruction for the whole process. Lastly, in order to evaluate the contents and the user interface design for this mobile application, formative evaluation was conducted using the usability testing by questionnaires and short instructed interviews.
