COMMUNICATIVITY OF AUTISTIC STUDENT UTTERANCE IN LEARNING INTERACTIONS

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe speech communication by autistic students at
the SDLB Autism Laboratory of Universitas Negeri Malang. This study was
conducted on seven autistic students who had different types of autism. The data of
this study are the elicitation of verbal data in the form of grammatical lingual units and
lingual units of the interaction of oral speech of autistic students in the form of words
and sentences accompanied by speech context. The results of the study show four
things. First, the shift of speech between teachers and students does not occur well
because students are slow in responding to the stimulus from the teacher. Secondly,
almost never occurs speech initiation from students. Third, there is inaccuracy and
incompatibility of speech responses to stimulus speech. Fourth, the communication of
each autistic student is different.
