Nature-Based Learning (NBL) is an innovative learning model in the field of education that can be applied to children with special needs, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children with ASD in elementary school age often experience difficulties in communication and socialization, necessitating appropriate interventions, one of which is the implementation of NBL as a learning model. This study is a qualitative research that utilizes literature review as the data collection method, analyzed using the Miles and Hubberman technique. The findings of this research reveal the significance of NBL in the elementary school age, where it creates a calm and non-threatening learning environment, facilitates collaboration, communication, and teamwork through group activities in nature. The impact of NBL on the psychological development of children with autism is highlighted, encompassing sensory regulation, reduced stress, improved focus, enhanced social skills, cognitive development, and a positive relationship with the environment.","PeriodicalId":496486,"journal":{"name":"Special and Inclusive Education Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135999292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach used in this study is a quantitative approach with the type of SSR (Single Subject Research) research. The design used in this study is A1-B-A2, for A1 is the baseline phase 1, B is the intervention phase and A2 is the baseline phase 2 The data recording technique uses direct observation using magnitude data recording. The data analysis technique used is graphic visual analysis including analysis between conditions and analysis in conditions. The subjects of this study were children with Down syndrome at Yayasan Melati Anak Bangsa Martapura with the initials HT. The results showed that there was an increase in a positive direction in fine motor skills, it can be seen from the data obtained in the baseline 1 condition, the mean level was 27%, the intervention condition the mean level was 71.3%, and the baseline condition 2 had a mean level of 88%. The result of overlap from phase A1 to B is 0% and phase B to A2 is 0%. From these data, it can be concluded that the clay media used in this study can improve the fine motor skills of children with Down syndrome at Yayasan Melati Anak Bangsa Martapura.","PeriodicalId":496486,"journal":{"name":"Special and Inclusive Education Journal","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136231573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
