Keywords:

This study was motivated by the low fine motor skills of autistic students at SLB Negeri Karanganyar. Autistic students often experience difficulties in carrying out activities that involve finger and hand coordination. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of busy book media on the fine motor skills of autistic students at SLB Negeri Karanganyar. The study employed a Single Subject Research (SSR) method with an A–B–A design. The subject was a male third-grade student diagnosed with autism. Data were collected through observation using an assessment instrument of fine motor skills, which included four indicators: buttoning clothes, tracing patterns, inserting laces into holes, and moving small objects with tweezers. The results showed a significant improvement in fine motor skills, from an average of 43.10% in the baseline-1 phase, to 82.65% in the intervention phase, and 91.70% in the baseline-2 phase. Therefore, this study concludes that busy book media has a positive effect on improving the fine motor skills of autistic students.
