Prompting Technique Using Playdough Media: Enhancing Fine Motor Skills in Children with Moderate Intellectual Disability

Abstract

This research aims to see the effectiveness of prompting techniques using playdough media in improving the fine motor skills of children with moderate intellectual disability. This research uses a single case experimental design. This research was conducted on one participant who was selected using the purposive sampling method. Quantitative analysis techniques use trend analysis by comparing trends in the baseline phase and treatment phase conditions. The results showed that there were changes in the participants' motor skills before and after the intervention. The subject stated that there were changes in fine motor skills in the research subjects after treatment with the prompting technique using playdough media. These changes can be seen from the fine motor aspect, including the strength of the fingertips, strength of the palm and knuckles, strength of the thumb, coordination between the hands.
