Abstract

ABSTRACT
Autism children often did self stimulation behavior such as holding ears which was done repeatedly without any
purpose so that it disturbed the children’s learning process and social life. Could the self stimulation behavior to autism
children be reduced by applying printing emboss activity with natural material media? The purpose of this research was
to analyze whether self stimulation behavior to autism children could be reduced by printing emboss activity with
natural material media.
The kind of research was experiment with the arrangement of Single Subject Research (SSR) Design A-B-A.
The subject was one autism child in PG/TK Mentari School Sidoarjo who used to do self stimulation behavior i.e.
holding ears.
The result of this research indicated that the average of self stimulation behavior which was done in 30 minutes
to baseline phase (A1) was 18-22 times with 105-122 seconds total duration, intervention phase (B) was 8-12 times with
41-49 seconds total duration, and baseline phase (A2) was 13-15 times with 50-57 seconds total duration.
The result of printing emboss activity with natural material media could reduce self stimulation behavior
(holding ears) to autism children which was previously done 18-22 times with 105-122 seconds total duration, it
reduced i.e. 13-15 times with 50-57 seconds in 30 minutes.
