The Effect of Aversion Techniques on the Self-Control of Children with Multiple Disabilities

Abstract

Students with multiple disabilities at SLB A YKAB Surakarta exhibit self-control challenges during eating activities. This study aims to determine the effect of aversion techniques on the self-control of children with multiple disabilities. The research employs a quantitative approach utilizing the Single Subject Research (SSR) experimental method. Data collection was conducted with one child with multiple disabilities, utilizing observation and frequency measurement techniques within an A-B research design, comprising a baseline phase (A) and an intervention phase (B). Data analysis in this study involved visual analysis to assess conditions and comparisons between conditions. Based on the frequency data acquired for self-control, a notable decrease in frequency was observed. Specifically, the results during the baseline phase (A) were as follows: first meeting 20, second meeting 17, and third meeting 18. In contrast, the results during the intervention phase (B) were as follows: first meeting 13, second meeting 12, third meeting 9, fourth meeting 10, and fifth meeting 8. Therefore, it can be concluded that aversion techniques have a significant effect on the self-control of children with multiple disabilities.
