Abstract

A student with intellectual disability is unable to distinguish the right, left, front, and back. The student has spatial problems that affect the ability to distinguish the direction (direction orientation). The purpose of this study is to obtain information about the effect of motion rhythm on improving the orientation of the direction of the children with intellectual disability. Research method used Single Subject Research (SSR) with design A-B-A. The results showed that rhythmic motion interventions can improve the orientation of the students' direction of the students with intellectual disability. Seen from the mean increase in the level or average ability of subjects in the orientation of the direction, starting from the initial phase of baseline-1 (A1) that is 59% then increased in the intervention phase (B) to 72%, and increased again in phase baseline-2 (A2) to 77%. In conclusion, the rhythmic motion can be used to improve the orientation of the students' direction of the students with intellectual disability. The implication, for teachers who will teach the orientation of space to students with intellectual disability are need to understand how to use motion rhythm.
