Subject in this reaserch is that autism children aged five to six years, amounting to seven children in TK Mentari School Sidoarjo. The research purpose was to prove the application influence of demonstration learning method toward fine motoric ability to autism children in TK Mentari School Sidoarjo.This research method was quantitative and the data collected was by participant observation and documentation. The participant observation was used to obtain the data of fine motoric ability to autism children before and after giving treatment while the documentation technique was as the supporting data or proof that the research was really done.The research result was obtained the data of early observation / pretest data which was obtained among 30,2 and after giving treatment the last observation / posttest data obtained was among 72,9. In this way it could be concluded that counting number Zht = 2,37 was greater than critic value 5% Zt = +1,96. The result indicated that Z counting was greater than Zt (Zht > Zt) which meant Ho was refused and Ha was accepted so that it could be stated that there was significant influence of demonstration learning method application toward fine motoric ability to autism children in TK Mentari School Sidoarjo.Keywords: Autism Children, Demonstration Learning Method, Fine Motoric Abilit
