The purpose of this research is to impact of a persian language learning program based on an blended learning approach on the motivation and academic progress of high-functioning autistic students. The statistical population of this study consists of all high-functioning autistic first-grade boys and girls in Ardabil city. For sampling in this study, 24 students were selected using the available sampling method, which included 12 girls and 12 boys who were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. the research implementation method was as follows: Initially, the academic motivation checklist and a teacher-made pre-test for first-grade Persian were administered to both groups. Then, the experimental group experienced Persian language lessons using a blended learning approach with the Quia and Shad platforms alongside face-to-face education for 15 sessions. Additionally, the experimental group attended in-person classes every two sessions for further education and troubleshooting.. However, the control group received the Persian language lessons solely through traditional and face-to-face education. after 15 sessions, the academic motivation checklist and the academic achievement test in Persian were administered to both groups. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (covariance analysis and independent t-test), yielding the following results: Students who were taught using the blended learning course showed increased academic motivation. Additionally, the level of learning in the Persian language of these students was higher compared to those who received traditional face-to-face education, and they performed better.
