This article aims to describe the child's initial condition, the implementation of a behavioral intervention, and the behavioral development following an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)-based intervention at KB-RA Terapi Tazkiyah. The article was developed from assessment data obtained through interviews and observation, followed by five intervention sessions using Discrete Trial Training (DTT), modeling, prompting, prompt fading, and positive reinforcement.

The results showed that the child began to respond to several simple instructions using concrete objects and demonstrated emerging imitation of adaptive behavior, such as self-calming.
