Physical activity based on manipulative exercise: how it affects the gross motor of children with autism for 12 years old?
Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of manipulative exercise on gross motor ability in students with grade V autism at SDLB who are 12 years old. The method and design used in this study is single-subject research using an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) design. Researchers use test techniques in the form of instruments that use an event score recording system by providing checks/notes on paper that have been provided for each event or behavior that occurs up to a predetermined period. Data collection is carried out by observation and documentation techniques which are then analyzed using visual analysis under conditions. The results of this study provide a conclusion that manipulative exercises have an influence on the gross motor ability of students with autism, so manipulative exercises can be used as an alternative to improving gross motor ability. This success may be influenced by several other factors that limit this study such as social, cultural, linguistic, and possibly even genetic characteristics that can be used for further study. The recommendation for further research is to conduct further research by paying attention to the limitations of this research.
