Summary/Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition characterized by challenges in motor and communication skills. The objective of this study was to design and implement a mobile application as an alternative resource to support language development in children with ASD. The research adopted an experimental design with a quantitative approach, involving a sample of 20 children. The data were collected using standardized instruments, including the Melgar Test, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and the Monfort and Juárez Test. The results demonstrated improvements in receptive and expressive language, as well as in pragmatic communication skills. These findings suggest that mobile applications can serve as a valuable complement to traditional language therapy, offering engaging and accessible tools that contribute to language acquisition in children with ASD.
