Abstract

ABSTRACT Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) generally experience difficulties in interacting and socializing, such as having trouble making eye contact, following instructions, waiting their turn, cooperating with peers, and participating in group activities. These challenges can hinder a child’s ability to interact within their social environment. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder typically characterized by persistent difficulties in sustaining attention, hyperactive behavior, and impulsivity, which can affect various aspects of a child’s life. Children with ADHD not only face challenges in academic settings but may also struggle to develop social skills and interact with their surroundings. Generally, children with ADHD are easily distracted, have difficulty concentrating for extended periods, struggle to follow rules and instructions, tend to act without considering the consequences, have difficulty controlling their activities, and struggle to regulate their responses to social situations. These conditions can cause children to face challenges in forming relationships with peers, participating in group activities, waiting their turn, sharing, cooperating, and maintaining positive social interactions. If not properly addressed, these socialization difficulties can affect a child’s ability to adjust to the school environment and daily life. Therefore, a systematic, structured, and consistent approach tailored to the needs and characteristics of each child is necessary. This study aims to examine the application of the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) approach in improving the social skills of children with ADHD at IT Baitul Jannah Special School in Lampung. This study employs a field research design using a descriptive analytical method. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The primary data sources in this study were classroom teachers who work with children with ADHD and one counselor, with the research subjects consisting of two children out of four children with ADHD who met the study criteria. Secondary data were obtained from school documents. The research findings indicate that the ABA approach is implemented in a structured manner through the stages of assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Interventions are carried out using stimuli, positive reinforcement, modeling, prompting, and fading, tailored to each child’s individual needs. Following the implementation of ABA, there was an improvement in social skills, as evidenced by the children’s ability to make eye contact, follow instructions, wait their turn, cooperate with peers, and participate in group activities. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the application of the ABA approach can help improve the social skills of children with ADHD. Implementation that is structured, consistent, and tailored to the child’s needs can help foster more adaptive social behaviors in both the school environment and daily life. Keywords: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), socialization skills, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
