This case study examines the effects of using assistive instructional tools in supporting teachers of the Inclusive Special Education Program (PPKI) in Seremban during the teaching and learning process of Adapted Physical Education (APE). Preliminary observations revealed that teachers often faced challenges in classroom management and delivering content effectively to students with autism. A purposive sample of five teachers was selected based on observations indicating difficulties in managing their classes. The intervention involved the introduction of an assistive instructional tool to support teachers during APE sessions. The intervention activities focused on using audio stimulation to improve students’ focus and increase motivation through the assistive tool. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings support the conclusion that assistive instructional tools play a significant role in enhancing engagement and focus among students with autism in APE sessions.
