The results of the study showed that almost all respondents experienced fine motor delays (delayed) before being given puzzle game therapy as many as 23 respondents (77%). After being given puzzle game therapy, almost all respondents experienced an increase in fineamotor developmentawith a norm7al category of 28 (93%) while the caution category was 2 respondents (7%).
