Abstract

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) frequently experience difficulties in recognizing, expressing, and regulating their emotions, which significantly affects their social interaction and communication skills. This study aims to examine the importance of understanding appropriate emotional regulation strategies to support children with ASD in their socio-emotional development. The method employed in this research is a systematic literature review of relevant empirical studies and scholarly articles. The findings indicate that appropriate emotional regulation interventions contribute substantially to improving communication skills, social interaction, and adaptive behavior among children with ASD. Strategies such as visual schedules, positive reinforcement, occupational therapy, social stories, and sensory-based interventions have been shown to assist children in identifying and expressing emotions in a constructive manner. Furthermore, consistent emotional support from parents, educators, and caregivers plays a critical role in fostering optimal socio-emotional development. The study highlights that emotional regulation constitutes a foundational life skill that enhances social competence, academic engagement, independence, and overall quality of life for children with ASD.

Abstract

Adolescents are a vulnerable population facing various risk behaviors, including the abuse of narcotics, psychotropic substances, and other addictive substances (NAPZA), HIV/AIDS transmission due to limited reproductive health knowledge, and mental health problems that may affect character development and overall quality of life. These challenges highlight the importance of integrated educational interventions as a preventive strategy to improve adolescents' health literacy. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to enhance adolescents' knowledge of the dangers of substance abuse, HIV/AIDS prevention, and the importance of maintaining mental health, while fostering positive attitudes and healthy behaviors through a church-based community approach. The program was conducted at HKBP Duren Jaya Bekasi and involved 60 adolescents attending catechism classes. The activities employed interactive health education, group discussions, case studies, question-and-answer sessions, and evaluations using pre-tests and post-tests. The results indicated that participants gained a better understanding of the dangers of substance abuse, HIV/AIDS prevention, the importance of mental health, and the adoption of healthy and responsible lifestyles. Furthermore, the church-based educational approach encouraged active participation and strengthened positive character values in addressing various challenges faced by adolescents. The program demonstrates that collaboration between higher education institutions and churches is an effective strategy for improving health literacy while fostering healthy, resilient, and well-characterized adolescents.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji efektivitas token economy dalam membentuk disiplin akademik anak usia dini dengan Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Peserta didik dengan ADHD seringkali mengalami kesulitan dalam mempertahankan fokus, mengontrol impulsivitas, serta mengikuti aturan pembelajaran, yang berdampak pada rendahnya disiplin akademik. Token economy, sebagai bentuk intervensi perilaku berbasis reinforcement, telah terbukti secara signifikan meningkatkan perilaku positif anak dengan ADHD melalui pemberian token yang dapat ditukar dengan reward. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review terhadap berbagai jurnal nasional dan internasional yang relevan, dan menganalisis efektivitas token economy dalam meningkatkan fokus belajar, kepatuhan instruksi, dan pengurangan perilaku mengganggu. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa token economy efektif dalam membentuk kebiasaan disiplin secara bertahap, terutama ketika diterapkan secara konsisten dengan dukungan orang tua dan guru. Meski demikian, tantangan seperti ketergantungan pada reward dan kurangnya internalisasi nilai disiplin tetap perlu menjadi perhatian. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan strategi pendamping seperti shaping, prompt verbal, serta penguatan intrinsik agar efek jangka panjang dari token economy dapat tercapai secara optimal.
