The research is being conducted by applying individual work system for students with ASD to improve completing the task. This research uses quasi experimental using reversal design A-B design in five subjects diagnosed with mild autism, aged elementary school, had problems in completing the tasks and have ability to simple instruction. The data collection tool uses observations that assess off-task/on-task behavior, teacher prompting, task completion. Data obtained were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon statistical test. The result showed that the intervention using that idividual work system was effective increase independence of task completion for student with autism.

Individual work systems atau sistem kerja individu mengembangkan kemandirian dengan cara mengorganisasikan tugas dan aktivitas yang dapat dipahami oleh individu dengan ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas Individual Work System siswa dengan (ASD). Penelitian ini menciptakan struktur kerja yang dapat membantu mengorganisir penugasan yang dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan kekuatan visual-spasial anak ASD. Kurangnya kemandirian pada anak ASD terlihat pada seringkali guru membantu atau mengarahkan anak ASD dalam menyelesaikan tugas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektifitas Individual Work System  anak dengan ASD sehingga lebih mudah memahami intruksi yang diberikan dan berespon dengan tepat. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain reversal dengan jenis A-B design pada lima orang subjek yang telah didiagnosis autisme sedang, berusia sekolah dasar, mempunyai permasalahan dalam penyelesaian tugas dan telah mampu mengikuti perintah sederhana. Alat pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi yang disusun oleh peneliti yang terdiri dari respon off-task/on-task, teacher prompting, dan task completion.
