Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental disorder, is now a significant public
health concern. The goal of this study is to determine whether there is a need for a Digital Visual Support
(DIGI-ViS) intervention module among preschoolers with autism in Perak. The informants of this study were a
total of five special education preschool teachers who were selected by purposive sampling. The data was used
to analyse the interview transcripts. An interview method using semi-structured, guided questions is used to
explore the study's objectives. The findings of the data analysis revealed five themes (benefits, teaching practice,
threats, approaches, and subject matter) that emerged, recommending that there is a need to develop digital
visual support among preschoolers with autism placed in the Preschool Special Education Integration Program
in Perak. Need analysis studies are essential for determining the content and requirements of an intervention
module. Researchers also explored the expert opinion of special education teachers on the current challenges
experienced in the classroom setting during self-management subjects. The outcomes of this study suggest that
digital visual support as an intervention tool for preschoolers with autism is recommended and very useful.
