Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can enhance their educational experiences with mobile applications. Furthermore, previous studies indicate that utilizing creative art has a positive impact on Autism spectrum disorder students’ (ASDs) educational performance as well as behavior and attention. This study aimed to design a creative arts-based mobile application (CABAMath) to improve mathematical skills for ASDs with level 1 severity based on DSM-IV. By utilizing the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), the study seeks to determine consensus among experts on appropriate elements for CABAMath’s design. Key findings include consensus on the CABAMath app’s objectives and content, including numerical abilities and understanding shapes and sizes. The instructional strategies for the app include simple games and reinforcement, as well as features for customizable skills and progress reports. The CABAMath approach based on creative arts include coloring, drawing, and painting. Future research may explore the implementation and evaluation of CABAMath to determine its usability and effectiveness.
