EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The study aimed to develop Cybermath for Special Children. this was conducted at Ilaya Elementary School during the first grading period of the school year 2013-2014. The respondents were (11) Elementary teachers and (4) SPED Teachers and (15) Bachelor of Secondary Education students major in Special Education (SPED) and (15) Information Technology experts of the University of Rizal System, Morong, Rizal. The Questionnaire-checklist used in this study was adopted from Kirsten Miller Jacquiline Bach of SAS in school interns, Summer 2011. It was found out that the developed program was very much accepted with regard to its attribute as a system and as a whole both respondents have a verbal interpretation of Very Much Accepted. As perceived by the teachers and students on the level of acceptability with regards to the Cybermath for Special Children, graphics and multimedia assessment, age/grade level ranks first with a weighted mean of 4.67 and verbally interpreted as very much accepted with a weighted mean of 4.7, second in the rank was learner engagement interactivity with a weighted mean of 4.65 and verbally interpreted as very much accepted, third in the rank was lay-out with a weighted mean of 4.59 and verbally interpreted of very much accepted, fourth in the rank was adaptability and accessibility with a weighted mean of 4.58 and verbally interpreted as very much accepted, fifth in the rank was instructional content and flexibility with a weighted mean of 4.57 and verbal interpreted as very much accepted, sixth in the rank was teacher and learner support materials with a weighted mean of 4.51 and verbally interpreted as very much accepted, and last on the rankings is curriculum connection with a weighted mean of 4.41 and verbally as verbally interpreted as very much accepted. On the significant difference of the perception of the two groups of respondents, the information Technology Experts and SPED teachers and students with respect to all variables including instructional content, curriculum connection, graphics and multimedia, lay-out, adaptability and accessibility, learner engagement interactivity, teacher and learner support materials.assessment, age/grade level and flexibility, it was found that there was no significant difference that existed between the perception of the two of respondents. The study therefore concluded that the Cybermath for Special Children is a useful alternative and motivational tool in teaching basic mathematics. With all the formulation and conclusions, the researchers recommended that the developed program could be utilized to enhance students' interest in mathematics and can be a modern instructional tool that will serve as a medium in the teaching and learning process of the students and teachers.
