    Children with autism generally show difficulty in both communication and in language learning. In this study, interactive interfaces designed to help children with autism to meet them with digital education. Interfaces are utilizable and colorful, makes a huge contribution on educational applications from the early childhood period on. Linguistic explanation feature was integrated to the interfaces on mobile platform by help of a tale to allow children to learn objects and their functions. It will play an active role with the development of language for early childhood period learners. In the audible streaming of the tale, by foregrounding the objective presentation, the equivalent of the object images were matched with the voices. By using the voice and object matching which is known as the natural method in language teaching, the actualization of the expected behavior is supported by providing individual freedom of iteration. The availability of the platform is tested with expertized user group and the level of platform usability was detected with system usability scale (SUS). It shows that usability and practicality of the prototype model has good effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction base on expert evaluation
