Therapy scheduling system using genetic algorithm for Batam autism service centre

Abstract

Abstract Autism is a neurological disorder that causes the sufferer difficult to communicate. Autism Service Centre was established to provide better education for Autism in the order they can adapt to an environment around them, even in formal or informal education. Autism Service Centre has a variety of daily activities, one of them is providing therapy to students. The therapy consists of speech, occupational, and physiotherapy. In carrying out the therapy, Batam Autism Service Centre found difficulties when processing student data and determining therapy schedules. Therefore, a therapy scheduling system is made using genetic algorithms for utilizing this algorithm to create dynamic schedule. Initiate from creating chromosome until mutation to get the new chromosome. These chromosomes will be experienced the same process until obtain the best chromosome on the next generation. This method can display the schedule by using data of therapeutic, therapist, room, time, and student appropriately to be solution in determining therapy schedules.
