Abstract:

This study aims to determine (1) how to evaluate the autistic child's therapy program using Therap application, (2) advantage of using Therap applications (3) obstacles in the implementation of the evaluation of autistic children's therapy program using Therap application and (4) therapist's effort to overcome these obstacles. This study is a descriptive qualitative study conducted at five Therap Application users clinics in the cities of Karanganyar and Jakarta. Data collection tools using observation, interviews, and documentation. Resource persons in this research are the therapist and computer administrator. Data analysis uses three steps: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Implementation of the evaluation by filling out the results of existing data on the T-Log menu, then the data will be stored on the server to be automatically recovered. In a certain time, the recap can be seen and evaluated the results of therapy for autistic children. The advantages of using this application are More practical and easy to use, the data can be automatically collected with detail, the data comes with photos, the therapist can communicate through the application, and can know the condition of the child at a distance position. There are obstacles to the use of this application, but the therapist tries to overcome these obstacles so that the evaluation can be optimal..
