Abstract

One concrete step taken to support SDGs 4 is the promotion of inclusive schools starting from the early childhood education (PAUD) level. However, the practice of inclusive education faces quite a number of challenges, one of which is related to sensory issues in early childhood. Teachers, as one of the important figures, play a major role in optimizing children's sensory processes through classroom activities. The community service program aims to improve teacher competency in identifying and stimulating sensory processing in early childhood. The community service activity with the main theme "Strengthening the Competence of Early Childhood Education Teachers as Therapists" was attended by 30 PAUD teachers from three inclusive kindergartens in Malang. The activity was conducted in three meetings covering basic material, material reinforcement and planning sensory stimulation, and mentoring sensory stimulation. In general, the community service program was proven effective in improving teacher competency and attitudes related to sensory issues in early childhood (p<0.01). The method that focuses on learners and strengthening skills is a major advantage of this community service. Future community services are expected to consider the sustainability of the program that has been implemented so that it can provide long-term benefits.

Abstract

Limited capacity among Posyandu Disabilitas (Integrated Health Post for Persons with Disabilities) cadres in understanding sensory issues and its relation to children's developmental milestones remains a significant challenge in providing appropriate stimulation for children with developmental issues and/or disabilities. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and competencies of Posyandu Disabilitas cadres regarding sensory issues, characteristics, and stimulation strategies to promote optimal child development and support the delivery of holistic services for children attending Posyandu Disabilitas. The program employed a psychoeducational approach consisting of interactive educational sessions and hands-on practical activities. A total of 21 Posyandu Disabilitas cadres participated in the program. Program evaluation demonstrated a 4.5% increase in participants' knowledge following the intervention. These findings indicate that psychoeducation on sensory issues and developmental milestones can effectively improve the knowledge of Posyandu Disabilitas cadres, thereby strengthening their capacity to support children with developmental delays and/or disabilities through appropriate sensory-based stimulation. Nevertheless, several limitations were identified, highlighting the need for continued capacity-building initiatives and sustainable follow-up programs to maximize long-term impact.
