In spite of the importance of literacy for students with disabilities, there is a lack of appropriate instructional materials for them, especially app for reading instruction. The purpose of this study is to explore teaching experiences and needs for reading instruction application from the experienced professionals. Participants are special education teachers, speech pathologists, professors with teaching experience of reading to children with disabilities, and professors of the same teaching experience as a clinician. FGI were implemented with 14 participants as 4 groups. The results showed five themes with 17 sub-themes. Five themes are teaching difficulties in literacy education for students with disabilities, experiences of application for reading intervention, difficulties in integrating application into reading intervention, need for necessary reading application content and functions, and need for preparation for teachers and students. Especially, need for accessibility for students with various disabilities, importance of linkage between school curriculum and application content were stressed. Implications for developing app-based instruction model and expanding usage of reading application beyond motivation or reinforcement, were discussed.
