Abstract

Autistic children have failures in reasoning or what is called systematic reasoning and have abnormalities in the cerebellum which functions to control motor activity and regulate attention and sensing. Almost all problems in all autistic children have disorders in controlling fine motor skills and gross motor skills, this is characterized by difficulty in carrying out activities by holding, holding or pressing, grasping, and pinching an object. This study aims to determine the effect of traditional games on motor skills in autistic children in Indonesia. The method in this study uses a pretest-posttest experimental design, this experimental study was conducted in groups with a control or comparison group. The sample in this study consisted of 8 autistic children with moderate categories who were in SLB, with the research instruments used in the pretest and posttest were TGMD consisting of horizontal jumps, jumps, and running/gliding, data analysis used independent sample t-test. The results of this study show the effect of traditional games on motor skills in autistic children with a Sig value (2-tailed) of 0.050. Traditional games serve as a medium for facilitating basic motor skills, which play a role in helping autistic children develop various basic motor skills. It is recommended that future research include several traditional game activities, in addition to jump rope and pole vault, to broaden the range of options and new approaches in this study.
