Abstract

Abstract: Autism children is child with serious pervasive development disturbance and spread in development
area so that caused divergence from normal children development. That case can influence to children activity likes fine
motoric skill so that it required an exact treatment and suitable with the autism children’s needs. The problem of fine
motoric skill was a serious problem which should be handled. It always included the activities relating with fine motoric
skill in learning implementation such as the activity of writing, drawing, coloring, cutting, attaching, etc. therefore, fine
motoric practice required doing to autism children one of them through occupation therapy with collage technique
involving the activity to children’s fingers. Based on the observation result of pre research, the subject had hindrance in
fine motoric skill which consisted of five aspects i.e. the skill of handling, taking, pinching, holding and attaching.
This research had purpose to prove the influence of occupation therapy with collage technique toward fine
motoric skill of autism children. This research used quantitative approach with pre experiment one group pre test and
post test design. The subjects were 6 autism children 6-8 years old studied in SLB PGRI Plosoklaten Kediri. The data
collection method used action test and the data analysis technique used statistic non parametric sign test.
The result obtained was Z counted (Zh) = 2,05 and was compared with critic value one side 1,64 so that Zh> Z
table i.e. 2,05 > 1,64. In this way it could be stated that Ho was refused and Ha was accepted which meant there was
influence of occupation therapy with collage technique toward fine motoric skill to autism children in SLB PGRI
Plosoklaten Kediri.
Keywords: occupation therapy with collage technique, fine motoric skill
