Abstract
Reading has a significant influence on a child's future growth and development, which is why it is essential for children who have special needs to acquire this skill. Learning that makes use of visual aids is very important for children who have particular requirements. Because students with special needs struggle with abstract cognition and have a reduced capacity for recall, the instructional tools or media that they use should be tailored to accommodate these characteristics. The end result of this study should be the creation of multimedia apps that are both practical and interactive. In order to carry out this study, we needed to make some adjustments to the approach that Borg and GalL had created. The study included 30 participants from the seventh-grade. The students were from those who have special neesds. The findings of the study suggest that introducing beginner readers to interactive forms of multimedia may improve their reading ability. And by gaining a very acceptable media expert validation score, material expert validation in the right category, and learning expert validation in the very feasible category, it is possible and helpful for children who have special requirements. According to the findings of the research, the created interactive multimedia does an excellent job of conveying information. When beginning their reading lesson, students that have specific educational needs may gain a great deal from utilizing the generated medium.
