This study aims to examine the impact of using the Half-Oval Hole Table with Base (MT A) and the Half-Oval Hole Table without Base (MT B) on the learning behavior of children with autism. The half-oval hole table design is intended to improve attention focus and sitting endurance during therapy using the Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) method. This research uses a mixed-method approach with an experimental quantitative design followed by qualitative analysis. The participants of this study were 7 autistic children aged 4–12 years, who exhibited active behavior and difficulty focusing on tasks. The results showed that the use of MT A resulted in longer sitting duration and fewer instances of leaving the seat compared to MT B. However, repetitive behaviors such as tapping the table, rocking the chair, and playing with the table's fold still appeared, especially with MT B. Additionally, safety concerns were found with MT A, as the metal components could pose a risk to the children. These findings provide important recommendations for teachers and therapists in selecting and designing the appropriate tables for therapy, to enhance children's attention focus and sitting endurance without causing distractions or harm.
