The design used in this study is a single case study in the form of the effect of giving sensory integration therapy treatment. The analytical method used is analysis, visual inspection, interviews and non-parametric observation and analysis (Wilcoxon). The results of hypothesis testing on this therapy are Z = 0.034 (p> 0.05).
