Gross motor skills are very important for autistic students. Through motor learning, children learn to control and coordinate their movements which are fundamental to being able to explore and learn. However, there are findings showing that autistic children have significant fundamental difficulties in performing tasks that require coordinated movements between the arms and legs. Therefore, the gross motor skills of autistic students need to be trained and developed. Through this bridge board playing method, it can stimulate and train the gross motor skills of autistic students. This study aims to prove the effect of the walkway playing method on the gross motor skills of autistic students at SLB Tunas Kasih Surabaya. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental type, one group pre-test post-test design.
