Abstract

The limited receptive and expressive language skills of children with autism are a problem that affects their daily lives. The discrete trial training technique was chosen to optimize children's receptive and expressive language skills. This research aims to describe the initial condition of receptive and expressive language skills, the process of optimizing receptive and expressive language skills using the DTT, and the receptive and expressive language skills of children with autism after being given the DTT. This research used experiment research with single-subject research (SSR) and used reversal design A-B-A. This research used 18 sessions, consisting of 5 sessions for the baseline-1 phase, eight intervention sessions, and 5 baseline-2 sessions. Data analysis used in this research is analysis visual in the conditions and between the conditions. The data results showed a percentage of overlap in this study, a value of 0%, which means using the DTT technique has a positive effect on the receptive and expressive language skills of children with autism. Based on the results, using the DTT can optimize receptive and expressive language skills in children with autism at Omah Terapi Autis Malang. However, the effectiveness value is still low. The increase in the subject's expressive language skills is not significant.
