Abstract
This study aims to explore the situation of clinical practice in Algeria regarding the use of technology in learning about individuals with autism spectrum disorder, The study used the electronic scientific interview to collect data. Twenty-eight clinical practitioners from 10 Algerian provinces, including speech therapists and psychologists participated in the study, this study found that the use of technology in learning about people with autism spectrum disorder is very limited, The percentage of clinicians utilizing technology at their workplace to teach individuals with ASD did not exceed 18%, and the rate of technology integration in learning individuals with ASD (online) stands at 7%. The results indicated that the TEACCH program was the most commonly used manual-based therapeutic program for teaching individuals with ASD, with a usage rate of 64%.
Keywords: Autism spectrum disorder, clinical practice, speech therapists, technological tools, therapeutic programmes
