The stage of basaline A 1 , intervention stage consisted, and basaline A 2 consisted. The main data source of the research was Down Syndrome students class VII inisials Tl. Data collection technique used direct observation. The data processed by counting the percentage fine motor ability consisted 3 aspects, namely: painting by using all fingers, painting by using fingers alternately, coordination eyes and hand.
