Abstract

This study aimed to study the use of social stories through storytelling with the simulation to increase waiting skills in a 7-year-old female child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It was conducted using an ABAB single case design. Specifically, the data were collected without any intervention in the baseline phase (A), while social stories through storytelling with the simulation were used in the intervention phase (B) for a period of 12 times. The research instruments employed in this study were (1) a participant selection form and a basic skill assessment questionnaire, (2) an interview with parents, and (3) a waiting skill assessment questionnaire. The data were analyzed through graph analysis to present the results of changing in waiting skills. The results showed that in the baseline phase (A1), the average score of waiting skill was 0.83. In the treatment phase in which social story through story-telling along with the simulation (B1) was used, the average score of waiting skill increased to 1.26. In the baseline phase (A2) had waiting skill score increase of 1.45. In the second treatment phase in which social story through story-telling along with the simulation (B2) was exercised, the average score of waiting skill increased to 1.79. These results indicated waiting skill of a child increased after using social story through story-telling along with the simulation.
