new ways to learn. How to proceed?

Hello everyone ,
My 14 year old has mild autism with learning disabilities. He is being home schooled, And he goes for speech and occupation therapy once in a week . He learnt his capital letter alphabets last year with the help of powerpoint presentations and videos at home, that is by connecting every letter to a clue(hand sign / image) .
sometimes , if he is not getting the letter correct, we give him clue, And then he is able to tell. When we got to know this , we made many presentations teaching him number , colors, animals, birds,.etc. He s learning but it is very slow. It looks like he is stuck., or he is bored of this way .. What we do now is make a presentation with lots of animation , sometimes with sound recording.,and play it everyday,My mom sits with him when he is sitting with this...And stops and explains by making a story . Is there any new way to teach him things , something which involves computers,,I realized he loves computers.
Any simple(very simple) games for him to learn ABC, numbers ?? He loves to use computer, but he doesn't know how to operate. We need to put the presentation or video on and then call him. If he is bored , he just clicks randomly and closes everything.!
Any suggestions would help.
Thank you .

Hi, my name is Warren amd my 15 year old grandson Rhys is on the Spectrum. We belong to a wonderful support organisation ( Autism Community Network ) located in Sydney Australia.
With the financial backing of our local Lions Club we have supplied 121 iPads with an app named PROLOTOGO - the results for our ASD children have been very positive.The main objective is to improve communication skills.
As you say your boy loves computers and it appears the majority of kids with an ASD do have an affinity with them. The app not only produces graphics it repeats the words depicting the sentences so that the operator sees and hears the replies.
Where do you live.
Regards
Warren
