      <dc:description>It is crucial for families and professionals to promote basic instrumental skills in children&#xd;
with autism, as these skills can help with comprehensive growth and development, and are a&#xd;
starting point in acquiring the essential tools needed for one to live an independent and successful&#xd;
life, These skills include oral language, reading, writing, and mathematics. Therefore, given that&#xd;
ICT and mobile applications (apps) are effective tools that offer suitable content, and are designed&#xd;
exclusively for people with this disorder, working on these skills with apps is an interesting option&#xd;
that is worthy of our attention. We analyzed 88 apps that focused on these skills, through a duly&#xd;
validated system of indicators, calculating frequencies, percentages, measures of central tendency&#xd;
and dispersion, and non-parametric contrast statistics. The app search was carried out in the&#xd;
Google Play Store, with the keyword “autism”, in English and in Spanish. Most of the apps focused&#xd;
on aspects linked to oral language and reading, but few were aimed at reading and mathematics. In&#xd;
addition to the apps’ lack of specialization in the last two skills, the vast majority did not specify&#xd;
the age group for which their content was intended.</dc:description>
