Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior.  Autistic is a person affected by autism. The level of autism of each individual is varied. It can range from mild to severe. Due to this condition, the person shares some symptoms of the difficulties with social interaction. To make them involved in social interaction, it needs special effort to make them be able to speech or communicate first. For this reason, there should be the use of the combination between verbal and non-verbal communication. Thus, this study attempted to investigate the process of using both kinds of communication in teaching children with autism since children are easier to be threated than adults. To make the distinct result, the participants were from different level of autism. Then, based on the observation and interview, the findings showed that the verbal and non-verbal communication used by the therapist in teaching the autistic children can enhance their social interaction and communication skills.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects children s neurodevelopment, impairing the ability for social interaction, communication and generating repetitive behavior. The treatment is performed according to specific methods, to practice social interactions, emotions and basic activities of daily living. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are collaborating as a complement to existing methods practiced by psychologists/therapists. Thus, this research seeks, through literature review, to find out what are the gaps in this theme and to know the applications of AR and VR concerning the treatment of children with ASD at national and international levels. The method chosen was the systematic literature review (SLR) and the narrative literature review. The database used was Scopus, where 39 articles were obtained, revealing a gap due to the low number of results, and finally, after using the filters, 19 articles were analyzed. The result shows great potential for using the technologies mentioned in support of the allowed therapeutic methods, allowing the treatment to evolve more efficiently.

Cognitive ability is one of the important aspects for individuals who need to be equipped and developed since childhood, including children with autism. Children with autism have difficulty receiving and understanding learning material and information received in class because they have problems with cognitive abilities. Therefore, we need a new learning method that is expected to help children with autism in developing their cognitive abilities to support learning activities in the classroom. This research aimed to determine the effect of musical learning methods on the cognitive abilities of autistic students. The subjects were 3 autistic students who experience obstacles in composing language in communication, difficulty of concentrating, and behaving repetitively in SLB Negeri Manekat Niki-Niki. The research method used was pre-experimental design quantitative with one group pretest-posttest design. The data analysis technique used was descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that musical learning methods were effective and had an effect on the cognitive abilities of autistic students who had limitations in concentrating and repetitive behavior, but were not yet effective enough for autistic students who had language development disorders in communication.
