Children with mild mental retardation had several difficulties with interaction, remembering information, problem-solving, physic-motoric, learning problem, etc. Therefore, we proposed a novel framework to increase their learning skill using instructional thematic game rehabilitation framework based on Kinect sensor as the solution. Basically, the framework had three components. First, intellectual functions, which implied to the competencies reached through the game by the student. Second, instructional thematic game model, which was the concept to learn everything from the real single topic of the subject by associating to the abstract objects. Three, computer sensor device, which was the equipment as the bridge between the children and the program application. This research covered enhancement of right and left-hand recognition. We adopted Single Subject Research to evaluate the effectiveness of the system and to explore each of the individual’s progress. This process was divided into 2 steps. Namely, baseline stage and treatment stage. Apparently, from our finding, such framework gave the student an enhanced learning skill covering left-right recognition skill, decreasing the level of disturbance, and improving the level of learning independence.

Areview of single-subject research designed to enhance the object-related play of youths with mental retardation is presented. Eleven studies, obtained from a literature search of appropriate journals, references of relevant articles, and computer databases, met inclusion criteria. Studies were organized by intervention type: (a) response to the introduction of toys, (b) programmed reinforcement of toy play, and (c) direct or assertive training procedures. Positive outcomes in the form of improved play behaviors were consistently reported across intervention type. The apparent responsiveness of participants' play skills to intervention indicates a need for further research in appropriate interventions.

AbstrakMMembaca permulaan merupakan kemampuan paling dasar dan penting untuk mempelajari simbol atau kode yang memiliki makna serta dapat diterjemahkan dalam bunyi atau suara. Komponen membaca permulaan yaitu membaca huruf, suku kata, kata dan kalimat sederhana. Membaca sangat penting untuk setiap orang, begitu juga anak berkebutuhan khusus. Cerebral Palsy adalah individu yang mengalami kerusakan otak menetap yang berdampak pada mobilisasi, gerak, komunikasi, dan lain sebagainya. Metode yang digunakan oleh guru di sekolah kurang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan membaca permulaan. Oleh karena itu, subjek memerlukan metode pembelajaran yang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan membaca permulaannya. Salah satunya yaitu metode pembelajaran Strukrural Analitik Sintetik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pembelajaran ini untuk melihat pengaruh kepada kemampuan membaca permulaan pada subjek. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif, eksperimen Single Subject Research dengan desain A-B-A. Jumlah sesi pada A1 tiga sesi, B tujuh sesi, dan A2 tiga sesi. Subjek penelitian ini yaitu anak cerebral palsy spastik yang mengalami hambatan kecerdasan kelas IX SMPLB. etiap sesinya anak memperoleh rata-rata nilai A1 yaitu 59,06%, B 74,80%, dan A2 84,25%. Kesimpulannya metode struktural analitik sintetik dapat berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan kemampuan membaca permulaan. AbstractPre-reading is the most basic and important ability to learn symbols or codes that have meaning and can be translated in sounds or sounds. The component of pre-reading is reading letters, syllables, words and simple sentences. Reading is very important for everyone, so are children with special needs. Cerebral Palsy is an individual who has permanent brain damage that affects mobilization, movement, communication, and so forth. The method used by teachers in schools is less able to improve pre-reading skills. Therefore, the subject requires learning methods that can improve the ability to read the beginning. One of them is the synthetic analytical structural learning method. This study uses this learning method to see the effect on early reading skills on the subject. The research method uses a quantitative approach, a single subject research experiment with A-B-A design. The number of sessions at A1 is three sessions, B is seven sessions, and A2 is three sessions. The subjects of this study are spastic cerebral palsy children who have intelligence problems in class IX SMPLB. for each session the children obtained an average A1 value of 59.06%, B 74.80%, and A2 84.25%. In conclusion, synthetic analytic structural methods can have a significant effect on improving early reading skills.

This study aims to determine the effect of videoscribe for improving reading fluently ability for student with learning disability. This research uses single subject research (SSR) experiment, A-B-A design and data analysis technique using visual graph analysis. The subject of this research is student with learning disability. Target behavior in this study is the speed of reading fluently in short discourse text. Observations were conducted in three sessions. First is baseline session (A1), second, interventions through media videoscribe (B) and last session baseline (A2). Based on the results of research, we knew that the ability of children in reading fluently can be increased through videoscribe. At the baseline condition (A1), the reading fluently ability of the student increases from the duration of four point five minutes to four minutes. In intervention condition (B), the duration becomes shorter in one minute. At the baseline condition (A2) the duration becomes shorter, even without any intervention. Based on data analysis, it can be explained that direction tendency, stability tendency, data trending trend, and level change increase positively, and overlape percentage on inter-condition analysis is 0%. It can be concluded that the media videoscribe can improve reading fluently ability for student with learning disability.

This study discusses the analysis of rewording in the form of stickers with star images, in increasing the duration of sitting endurance for autistic students during the learning process. This study used an experimental method with a single subject research approach. The subject of this study was a class VI autistic student who had a low duration of sitting resistance during the learning process in the classroom. Researchers made observations during seventeen meetings, all data were obtained through observation, interviews and action tests which were presented in graphic form. To measure the duration of sitting endurance, the researcher used a stopwarch analysis tool. Overall the results of the research on the initial conditions for five meetings were 2 minutes, 2 minutes, 4 minutes, 3 minutes 3 minutes. Furthermore, in the intervention condition during the seven meetings the researcher gave reword in the form of a star sticker image, the results were 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 6 minutes, 5 minutes, 7 minutes, 8 minutes. At baseline A2 conditions obtained dudu resistance results After being given the treatment, namely 5 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, 7 minutes, 9 minutes. The results of this study prove that giving rewords in the form of star stickers in the learning process can increase the duration of sitting endurance for autistic students, but it is necessary to develop further research in this problem in different contexts and issues.
