Abstract: The purpose of this research is to use the design-based research method developed for students and teachers in teaching concept skills to developmentally disabled students and to examine the process of developing software based on the infrastructure of operant conditioning theory. In the study, semi-structured interview forms and observation forms were used as data collection tools in order to reveal the opinions of teachers during the material development process as well as the employability after they had used the software. In summary, the important results which were found after the application was developed can be summarised as: (a) software to be developed for individuals with special educative needs must be plain and understandable' (b) objects to be used must consist of the visuals of real objects; (c) objects that the students are familiar with and have in their environments must be used.
