Abstract: Autism children is child with serious pervasive development disturbance and spread in developmentarea so that caused divergence from normal children development. That case can influence to children activity likes finemotoric skill so that it required an exact treatment and suitable with the autism children’s needs. The problem of finemotoric skill was a serious problem which should be handled. It always included the activities relating with fine motoricskill in learning implementation such as the activity of writing, drawing, coloring, cutting, attaching, etc. therefore, finemotoric practice required doing to autism children one of them through occupation therapy with collage techniqueinvolving the activity to children’s fingers. Based on the observation result of pre research, the subject had hindrance infine motoric skill which consisted of five aspects i.e. the skill of handling, taking, pinching, holding and attaching.This research had purpose to prove the influence of occupation therapy with collage technique toward finemotoric skill of autism children. This research used quantitative approach with pre experiment one group pre test andpost test design. The subjects were 6 autism children 6-8 years old studied in SLB PGRI Plosoklaten Kediri. The datacollection method used action test and the data analysis technique used statistic non parametric sign test.The result obtained was Z counted (Zh) = 2,05 and was compared with critic value one side 1,64 so that Zh> Ztable i.e. 2,05 > 1,64. In this way it could be stated that Ho was refused and Ha was accepted which meant there wasinfluence of occupation therapy with collage technique toward fine motoric skill to autism children in SLB PGRIPlosoklaten Kediri.Keywords: occupation therapy with collage technique, fine motoric skil
