Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve the ability of children with intellectual disabilities to recognize and express emotions through group counseling based on self-expression at Panti Sosial Bina Grahita Harapan Padang. The activities were conducted using emotion cards, facial expression exercises, drawing activities, and simple role-playing. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test assessments of participants’ emotional abilities. The results showed an increase in the ability to recognize emotions from 42% to 78% (+36%) and the ability to express emotions from 38% to 74% (+36%). In addition, participants demonstrated improved participation, communication confidence, and social interaction during the activities. These findings indicate that self-expression-based group counseling is effective in supporting the social-emotional development of children with intellectual disabilities.
