Abstract

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often experience difficulties in language development, particularly in vocabulary acquisition, which is essential for communication and learning participation. This study aimed to examine the effect of experiential learning integrated with sensory integration on vocabulary mastery in a child with autism using a Single Subject Research (SSR) design. An A₁–B–A₂ design was employed across 22 sessions, consisting of baseline (4 sessions), intervention (11 sessions), and withdrawal phases (7 sessions). The intervention involved direct experiential activities supported by multisensory stimulation using 50 functional target words. Data were collected through a vocabulary performance test and analyzed using visual analysis, including trend, level, stability, and data overlap. The results showed an increasing trend in vocabulary performance during the intervention phase and relatively stable performance during the withdrawal phase. These findings suggest that experiential learning combined with sensory integration may support vocabulary development within the context of this single-subject study. However, the results are limited to the characteristics of the participant and research conditionsExperiential Learning through Sensory Integration in Improving Vocabulary Mastery of Children with Autism: A Single-Subject Study

Abstract

The success of children with special educational needs in learning is influenced by the ability and suitability of the learning program designed for them. Schools that accept children with special needs are expected to have identification and assessment results to inform their learning preparation. PAUD Mustika is one such early childhood school. However, the school still experiences obstacles in preparing the program because the identification and assessment results are incomplete and do not support the learning process. The community service activity aims to assess the learning readiness of children with special needs at PAUD Mustika. The implementation method consists of planning, implementation, and evaluation. The identification and assessment process was carried out for 10 children with special educational needs, involving parents and school teachers. The results of the community service activity were 10 learning readiness identification and assessment reports containing identification of children's special needs, assessments of developmental aspects, and learning recommendations based on the findings of the identification and assessment. These reports were submitted to the school to inform the design of a learning program that aligns with the students' characteristics and learning needs. Four teachers completed the questionnaire, achieving an average score of 83.125. This activity has a positive impact in the form of providing learning readiness assessments for students with special needs, which can be used as a reference in the classroom learning process and provide insight into the assessment process for teachers and parents.
