Abstract

The aim of this study is to increase the fine motor skills of a child diagnosed with mental retardation and global developmental delay. Child with both this diagnosed has difficulty to develop her fine motor skills. This subject is 7 years old in Kristha Pertiwi Homeschooling, Semarang Regency. This study is single case design research by using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy which accepted for modifying behavior through bunchems. We provide fine motor activity through the process of grasping, grazing, and scooping objects. The result showed that therapeutic activity using bunchems occurs motor process to improve fine motor skills so that child is able to perform better motor activity to increase her independence, especially in writing and carrying objects.
