Selective Mutism (SM) is characterized by failure to speak at some period of time in specific social situations (e.g., at school), but can talk in other familiar situations (home). This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of ‘Kita Semua Sahabat’ in improving communication skills in children with SM. The subject was a 5 year-old boy who had been diagnosed based on DSM-V. The research design was a single case experimental design. Interventions were performed using the technique of stimulus fading and contingency management which were packed through the training of ‘Kita Semua Sahabat’. The result showed that there was a significant increase, and communication with stimulus (prompts) had a greater increase than communication without stimulus (child’s initiation). The research showed that Training ‘Kita Semua Sahabat’ is effective to increase communication among children with SM, and more frequent verbal communication happens if more stimuli were given to the child.

Communication skill is the ability to transfer information to others. Students with Cerebral-Palsy have difficulty in pronouncing consonants when communicating with others. This difficulty is the effect of neural motoric disorder in the brain. It makes the information cannot be transferred well. This action research tries to improve the communication skills of students with cerebral palsy by using netbooks and smartphones as a tool to communicate. As a classroom action research, this study was conducted in four cycles. There is no significant improvement of the student communication skills in the first and second cycles. The third cycle shows that students’ communication skills were improved. It is particularly when the subject has utilised a notebook or a smartphone. In the fourth cycle, the student’s communication ability increases dramatically.[Keterampilan komunikasi adalah kemampuan untuk mentransfer informasi kepada orang lain. Siswa dengan Cerebral Palsy mengalami kesulitan dalam mengucapkan konsonan (non-vokal) ketika berkomunikasi dengan orang lain. Kesulitan ini adalah efek dari gangguan saraf saraf di otak. Hal ini membuat informasi tidak dapat ditransfer dengan baik, karena kerusakan otak berdampak pada organ-organ bicara. Teknologi membuat segalanya lebih mudah dan penelitian ini mencoba meningkatkan keterampilan komunikasi siswa dengan cerebral palsy dengan menggunakan notebook sebagai alat untuk berkomunikasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam empat siklus melalui desain Penelitian Tindakan Kelas. Tidak ada peningkatan keterampilan komunikasi siswa yang signifikan pada siklus pertama dan kedua.
