Abstract

This paper reports the results of study on six intellectually disable children’s laundry skills during an apprenticeship at a laundry shop in Majalengka, Jawa Barat, Indonesia. These six children’s IQ ranges from 52 to 58, and they have gross motor skills such as loading and unloading washing machines, lifting, moving, and hanging washed clothes. They have fine motor skills such as coupling the washing machine water inlet hose with a faucet, turning the faucet on/off, setting up the washer’s timer. This study employed a quantitative experimental design. The study began with a pretest. The pretest consisted of 65 test items about children’s laundry skills. The pretest average score was 157.4 with a percentage of 67.72%. After a one-month apprenticeship, the posttest was administered. The result revealed that the children obtained an average score of 214.4 with a percentage of 91.61%. It can be concluded that the apprenticeship improved the laundry skills of children with mild developmental disabilities.
