Activities are carried out using Sensory Path Educational Game Tools (APE) in children with special needs with data collection methods using questionnaires in the form of observation sheets and conducting interview. to 11 subjects, namely 9 boys and 2 girls aged 3-6 years with classifications of Autism, ADHD, and Mentally Disabled disorders. Data analysis techniques with paired non-parametric tests Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results of the data analysis show that there is an influence of the use of educational game tools (Sensory Path) to improve gross motor skills in children with special needs at the Sinar Talenta 2 Foundation. The use of educational play tools in the form of sensory paths has been proven to improve gross motor skills in children with special needs.
