The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of teaching subtraction facts using the touch math technique offered with direct teaching method to students with autism spectrum disorders[ASD]. This study also examines maintenance effect after the end of teaching, generalization effects across different individuals and environment as well as social validity about teachers’ views with touch math technique. One of the single subject research designs, a multiple probe design across participants, is used in this study.
