The Influence Of Montessori Games Educational Methods And Media In Improving The Fine Motorcy Of Cerebral Palsy Children For Pre-Hooting Skills

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of Montessori game educational methods and media on improving the fine motor skills of Cerebral Palsy children, especially in the context of pre-buttoning skills. Fine motor skills have a crucial role in daily activities, delays in the development of these skills can hinder children's learning abilities. Cerebral Palsy as a condition of brain dysfunction can cause fine motor disorders in children. Using a qualitative approach with a case study of subject B, this research implemented intervention using the Montessori method to train children's fine motor skills over nine meetings. Initial assessment results indicated challenges in the subject's behavior and fine motor skills. However, after the intervention, significant positive changes were seen. Subjects can be arranged to sit, complete tasks, and successfully place objects into containers according to their shape. This program also improves children's patience and sitting ability. Even though it has not yet reached the buttoning stage, satisfactory progress can be seen.
