THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ADVANCED READING ASSESSMENT FOR THIRD CLASS AUTISTIC STUDENT AT SKH SARONGGE AND SKH CITRA ANINDYA

Abstract

Autistic students are students who have communication, language and social disorders so they must receive special education services that adapt to their characteristics and abilities. Problems arise when autistic students are less able to participate in academic learning so they need additional skills such as advanced reading. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out further reading assessments in order to determine the abilities and needs of autistic students. The aim of this research is to determine the implementation of advanced reading assessments for autistic students at SKh Sarongge and Skh Citra Anindya. The method used by researchers is a qualitative descriptive method by collecting data using observation, interview and documentation study techniques. The implementation stage is divided into 3 stages, namely preparation, implementation and follow-up. The preparation stage includes preparing assessment instruments, preparing materials, and preparing media. The implementation stage includes initial activities, core activities and final activities. The next stage is recommending results, informing the results and creating a program. Difficulties experienced include the lack of source books, difficulty processing data, difficulty analyzing results and difficulty making recommendations. Countermeasures taken include finding and completing source books and discussing with other teams/teachers. The recommendations of this research are aimed at teachers, namely that teachers can design learning programs according to the abilities and needs of autistic students.
