Autisme adalah gangguan otak pada perkembangan pervasif pada anak yang ditandai dengan adanya gangguan dan keterlambatan dalam bidang kognitif, imajinasi, bahasa, perilaku, komunikasi, dan interaksi sosial. Berdasarkan data Yayasan Autis Indonesia tahun 2013, di Kota Palangka Raya Kalimantan ada 250 ribu orang, 20% diantaranya atau sekitar 50.000 adalah anak-anak dan diperkirakan 100 anak menderita autism. E-Therapy Autism Child with Multimedia Approach (EAMA) merupakan e-therapy yang diciptakan oleh peneliti, di dalamnya memuat juga unsur e-learning. EAMA berupa software aplikasi multimedia, gabungan dan pengembangan dari terapi autis metode Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) dan Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH). EAMA memfasilitasi intervensi untuk afektif, dan peningkatan kemampuan psikomotor. Penelitian dilakukan di Sekolah Khusus Melati Ceria (SKMC) Kota palangka Raya, jumlah sampel 30 orang, dengan total sampling. Desain eksperimen murni dengan one group pre and post test yang mengukur tingkat kemampuan psikomotor dan afektif anak autis, sebelum dan sesudah intervensi dengan aplikasi EAMA dirancang oleh peneliti. Uji analisis statistik dengan wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat psikomotor, sebelum dan sesudah diberi metode EAMA (p=0,000<0,05) dan Z(-4,899), maka ada pengaruh metode EAMA dengan tingkat psikomotor sebelum dan sesudah pemberian metode EAMA. Pada tingkat afektif, diperoleh nilai (p=0,000<0,05) dengan nilai Z= -5,292, ada pengaruh pemberian metode EAMA dengan peningkatan nilai afektif pada anak autism

This article explores the semiotic relationships between Applied Behavior Analysis research, special education practice and restraint and seclusion policy by tracing the evolution of the concept of “self-restraint,” —a term from Behavior Analytic literature for a variety of “behaviors” in which a person restricts their own movement. I trace how “self-restraint” emerges as a new class of behaviors eligible for intervention, and how this marks certain bodies for restrictive practices such as restraint, seclusion and the use of aversives. I explore how rhetorical moves shape the educational landscape of disabled students and expose mechanisms of control that are shaped by scholarship. By using “self-restraint” as an example, I respond to the taxonomies of deficit disseminated through Applied Behavioral Analysis in schooling for neurodivergent students and make critical links between special education practice and Disability Studies in Education.

Aim: Autism spectrum disorder is a class of neurological disorders that affect the development of brain functions. This study aims to evaluate, compare and rank the therapy techniques used in the management of autism spectrum disorder using multicriteria decision-making approaches. Materials & methods: Fuzzy PROMETHEE and fuzzy TOPSIS approaches were used. Fuzzy PROMETHEE utilizes a pair-wise comparison of alternatives under the fuzzy environment while fuzzy TOPSIS utilizes geometric distance from the positive ideal solution under the fuzzy environment for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the alternatives.The techniques selected for evaluation are applied behavioral analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy, speech therapy and pharmacological therapy such as Risperidone and Aripiprazole. Criteria used in this study include efficacy, cost and side effects, and their weights are assigned based on specific patient conditions. Results: The results indicate that applied behavioral analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy and speech therapy are the most preferred techniques, followed by Aripiprazole and Risperidone. Conclusion: More criteria could be considered and the weights could be assigned according to the patient profile.
