Pendampingan Perkembangan Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus Kategori Gifted Berdasarkan Pola Asuh Otoritatif

Abstract

Children with special needs have a variety of cases. This study will focus on discussing the development of children with special needs based on authoritative parenting. The goal is that parents can understand the types and factors that cause children with special needs in the gifted category, so they can pay attention to child care appropriately. This research was conducted in October 2020 - July 2021 Lopait Village RT/RW 09/01, Tuntang, Semarang Regency, Central Java. The method used is qualitative observation conducted in the form of direct structured interviews and using google form. The data obtained are then combined so that it becomes a descriptive discussion. Based on the results of this study, "GM" parents made efforts to handle it by disciplinary action according to the rules, training to improve development, providing motivation in the form of appreciation, giving limits/rules, bringing "GM" for hearing checks, participating in therapy, entering public formal schools and practice some tips from ABK experts at home. The results of the development of "GM" look significant, for example, being able to pronounce letters and starting to say simple words. Socio-emotional "GM" also begins to develop well, can express thoughts, begin to focus, and is able to look into the eyes of others. Thus, authoritative parenting is said to be appropriate for dealing with children with special needs in the gifted category.
