Qualitative disorders of communication are one of the characteristics possessed by children with autism. In children with autism occurred late speech development and the child is trying to communicate nonverbally. In this study tested method of Pecs (Picture Exchange Communication System) is an approach that can be used as an alternative to training communication autistic children. This method adjusts the communication characteristics and uniqueness of children with autism. This research aims to develop an approach to improve the communication skills of children with autism before and after the intervention and the extent of influence methods of Pecs in improving the communication skills of children with autism. The subjects were two autistic children who experience barriers to communication. The method used is an experimental method with the approach of Single Subject Research design A-B-A. The results showed that the mean level of capability to the subject 1 in the communication capabilities at baseline-A (A-1) of 4.7 in the intervention phase obtaining the mean level of 6.5, while the baseline phase-2 (A-2) after a given intervention get the mean level of 10. the early ability subject 2 in communication skills at baseline-A (A-1) of 5.7 in the intervention phase obtaining the mean level of 7.63, whereas the baseline phase-2 (A-2) after being given intervention to get the mean level of 11. the results of the study the two subjects above results in improved communication skills of children with autism in both subjects. Keywords : Communication Skills, Autistic, Pecs ( Picture Exchange Communication System)

This research aims to develop an approach to improve communication skills, knowing the communication skills of children with autism before and after the intervention and determine the extent of the influence of Pecs method to improve the communication skills of children with autism. Subjects in this study were two children with autism who have problems in communication. The method used is an experimental method using Single Subject Research approach to research design A-B-A. These results indicate that the mean level of capability to the subject 1 in the communication capabilities at baseline-A (A-1) of 4.7 in the intervention phase obtaining the mean level of 6.5. While the baseline phase-2 (A-2) after being granted intervention to get the mean level of 10. while the initial ability of the subject 2 in communication skills at baseline-A (A-1) of 5.7. In the intervention phase obtaining the mean level of 7.63, whereas the baseline phase-2 (A-2) after given intervention to get the mean level of 11.

This study describes a process of how the Picture Exchange Communication System(PECS)  becomes an Alternative strategy for optimizing the ability of autistic children to practice communication using non-verbal symbols. This study aims to examine the communication skills of early children with autism through a quantitative approach with the Single Subject Research method. The result shows that the PECS approach is effective in optimizing expressive communication skills in first grade students at SLB-B and Autis Bintoro Jember. This effectiveness can be seen from the increased test scores from baseline to intervention. In the baseline conditions, the test score of expressive communication skills performance was 21% and 67% in the intervention conditions, so that the mean increased by 46%. The data is supported by 0% overlap percentage which shows that this method is effective to increase the expressive sommunication skills.     Abstrak Salah satu yang termasuk anak berkebutuhan khusus adalah penyandang autis yang memerlukan pelayanan khusus dalam pendidikannya. Penyandang autis didefinisikan sebagai seseorang yang memiliki dunianya sendiri, yang dalam berinteraksi, berkomunikasi, dan berperilaku social kerap mendapati hambatan. Kajian ini mendeskripsikan proses bagaimana Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) menjadi sebuah strategi alternatif pengoptimalan kemampuan anak autis dalam mempraktikkan komunikasi dengan menggunakan simbol-simbol non-verbal. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji kemampuan komunikasi anak usia dini yang menyandang autis melalui pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Penelitian Subjek Tunggal. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, diperoleh hasil bahwa pendekatan PECS efektif untuk memaksimalkan kemampuan dalam berkomunikasi ekspresif pada siswa kelas satu di SLB-B dan Autis Bintoro Jember. Hal tersebut dapat dibuktikan melalui adanya peningkatan nilai tes yang bertambah di keadaan awal (baseline) setelah di intervensi.  Pada saat awal (baseline),  skor pada tes kemampuan  ketika anak melakukan komunikasi ekspresif sebanyak 21%, dan ketika sudah di intervensi menunjukkan angka peningkatan mencapai 67%, sehingga dapat dikatakan reratanya meningkat sebanyak 46%.
