PERMAINAN MAZE UNTUK MEREDUKSI PERILAKU SELF STIMULATION PADA ANAK AUTIS

Abstract

ABSTRACT
The autism children often indicated self stimulation behavior as flapping hands done repeatedly so it often disturbed the children’s learning process and social life. The purpose of this research was to prove whether there was influence of using maze game toward self stimulation behavior to autism children in PG/TK New Kempompong School Sidoarjo or not.
The kind of this research was experiment with Single Subject Arrangement (SSR) with A-B design. The subject was one autism child in PG/TK New Kepompong School Sidoarjo who had characteristics flapping hands behavior.
Based on the analysis done it indicated that baseline phase (A) was done 17-23 times with total duration 90-118 seconds during 30 minutes. Intervention phase (B) was done 9-14 times with total duration 48-55 seconds during 30 minutes.
Appropriating with data analysis and discussion could be concluded that maze game activity could reduce self stimulation behavior (flapping hands behavior) to autism children before it was done 17-23 times with total duration 90-118 seconds, it was reduced to be 9-14 times with total duration 48-55 seconds during 30 minutes.
