Furthermore, in the intervention stage (B) the condition is 15 sessions long with mean level 6.46 and stability percentage 33%. The baseline stage (A2) with the condition of 5 sessions and mean level 10, the percentage of stability is 100%, with the existing data, it can be concluded that the drill method can improve the ability to tie shoelaces to autistic children in class X at the SLB Paulus Tomohon.
