Abstract

This article is motivated by the need and importance of basic communication skills therapy for people with autism. As stated by experts, people with ASD have deficiencies in communicating, socializing, and behaving. Through this research, it is expected that people with ASD have basic communication skills (mand, tact, and echoic). This study aims to describe the process of therapy for the basic communication skills of people with ASD and the results of therapy by applying the ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) method using concrete objects as media. This research is a qualitative and descriptive research approach. The research subjects were ASD sufferers and underwent therapy at ACT (Autistic Children Therapy) Surabaya. Data was collected by observation and note- taking techniques, then analyzed using descriptive-interpretative techniques. The results of the study were the application of the ABA method and concrete object media in accordance with the ABA stages in therapy for basic communication skills for people with ASD and people with ASD who are able to ask (mand), name objects (tact), and are able to imitate (echoic).
