Abstract

Children with cerebral palsy often face communication barriers caused by motor and speech impairments, which limit their participation in classroom activities and daily interaction. Although Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems are widely used, many available devices are not sufficiently adapted to users’ motor abilities and educational needs. This study aimed to develop and evaluate DiniTalk, a user-centered AAC system designed to support functional communication in a child with cerebral palsy in an educational setting. The study used a field-based research and development design adapted from the ADDIE model. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed qualitatively. DiniTalk was designed as a low-cost AAC device with large accessible buttons and auditory output to accommodate motor limitations. The findings showed that the child’s AAC performance improved from 22% in the initial session to 88% in the final session, indicating increased communicative independence and more effective device use. These findings suggest that accessibility-driven AAC design can support functional communication and serve as an instructional aid in special and inclusive education.

Abstract

Reproductive health education presents significant challenges for autistic students due to communication barriers and the abstract nature of the topic, which often requires specialized learning media to ensure understanding. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive digital modules in improving Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB) teachers' experience and competence in delivering reproductive health materials to autistic students. Using a quasi-experimental, one-group, pre-test and post-test design, this study involved 18 teachers from SLBN Mutiara Bahari Sukabumi. Participants follow a structured mentoring program that uses digital modules integrating visual simulations, interactive elements, and clear audio explanations to simplify complex concepts. The results showed a statistically significant increase in teacher competence, evidenced by a substantial increase in the average comprehension score from pre-test to post-test. The improvement is very evident in key aspects such as understanding body boundaries, managing puberty changes, and implementing autism-friendly pedagogical strategies. This study concludes that interactive digital modules are an effective tool for bridging the teacher competency gap, facilitating the delivery of sensitive health topics in a concrete and structured manner.   Abstrak Pendidikan kesehatan reproduksi menghadirkan tantangan signifikan bagi murid autis karena hambatan komunikasi dan sifat topik yang abstrak, yang sering kali memerlukan penggunaan media pembelajaran khusus untuk memastikan pemahaman.

Abstract

The inability to achieve complete independence in students with special needs has the potential to make this group vulnerable to problems, including reproductive health and sexuality problems. These problems are suspected to be due to the lack of understanding and perception of teachers in the concept and implementation of reproductive health and sexuality education in Special Schools (SLB). This study was conducted to see teachers' understanding of reproductive health and sexuality education for students with special needs. Using a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, this study involved 15 teachers from six SLBs in Bandung City who were selected using the purposive sampling method. The data obtained were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results of the study showed a significant increase in the average score, indicating that the efforts made could improve teachers' understanding of reproductive health and sexuality education. Teachers felt more prepared to deal with the problems of students with special needs regarding reproductive health and sexuality after participating in competency refresher courses by participating in training or discussions. Training and discussions that are planned systematically, sustainably, and comprehensively can improve teacher competence and, more broadly, can improve the quality of reproductive health and sexuality education in SLB.   Abstrak Ketidakmampuan pencapaian kemandirian secara utuh pada peserta didik berkebutuhan khusus berpotensi membuat kelompok ini rentan terhadap masalah, termasuk masalah kesehatan reproduksi dan seksualitas.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat pemahaman guru terhadap pendidikan kesehatan reproduksi dan seksualitas untuk peserta didik berkebutuhan khusus. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan one group pretest -posttest design, penelitian ini melibatkan 15 guru dari enam SLB di Kota Bandung yang dipilih dengan metode purposive sampling. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan uji Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukan peningkatan rata-rata skor secara signifikan yang menunjukkan bahwa upaya yang dilakukan dapat meningkatkan pemahaman guru terhadap pendidikan kesehatan reproduksi dan seksualitas. Guru merasa lebih siap untuk menghadapi permasalahan peserta didik berkebutuhan khusus mengenai kesehatan reproduksi dan seksualitas setelah mengikuti penyegaran kompetensi dengan mengikuti pelatihan atau diskusi. Pelatihan dan diskusi yang direncanakan dengan sistematis, berkelanjutan, dan komprehensif dapat meningkatkan kompetensi guru dan secara lebih luas dapat meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan kesehatan reproduksi dan seksualitas di SLB.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined whether interactive multimedia could improve basic pencak silat skills among deaf students during extracurricular activities at SLBN 2 Pariaman, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative Single Subject Research (SSR) approach with an A–B–A design was used. Two Grade VIII deaf students participated. The intervention combined demonstration videos, animations, visual illustrations, written instructions, and sign-supported explanations. Data were collected through structured observation, performance assessment, and documentation, and were examined using visual analysis of level, trend, stability, and overlap. Findings: Both students showed a clear increase in performance during the six intervention meetings. Student R increased from 36.78% at A1 to 96.66% at the final intervention meeting, while Student I increased from 37.35% to 95.00%. The A2 scores remained at 96.66% for R and 95.00% for I. All intervention scores were above the reported A1 scores; based on the available data, the percentage of non-overlapping intervention data was 100% for both students. Conclusion: The findings indicate that interactive multimedia supported the acquisition and retention of basic pencak silat skills in these two students. The result should be interpreted within the limits of the small sample and the limited number of baseline observations reported in the manuscript. Implications: The study provides a practical example of how visually accessible multimedia can be incorporated into extracurricular physical activity for deaf learners.

Abstract

Communication is a fundamental need that shapes children's cognitive, social, and academic development, yet deaf children often face communication barriers because most interactions in their environment rely on spoken language. These barriers depend not only on the child's abilities but also on the readiness of the hearing individuals around them, including parents, teachers, and community members. Communication support for deaf children has commonly been designed around the child alone, with limited attention to the communication needs of the hearing environment. This study aimed to identify sign language communication needs within deaf children's social environments from the perspective of hearing individuals to inform the development of more inclusive communication support. The study used a qualitative needs-assessment design and involved parents, teachers, special education students, and community members selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and observations, then analyzed thematically with triangulation. The findings show that communication barriers arise from the interaction between children's communication characteristics and environmental readiness, and identify five interrelated needs: sign language proficiency, visual communication elements, visual media, adaptive strategies, and broader environmental support.

Abstract

Inclusive education depends on whether policy commitments are translated into accessible environments, responsive instruction, coordinated support, and institutional learning. This study examined inclusive policy implementation and the institutional conditions supporting its continuity in one integrated school in Bandung Regency, Indonesia, using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods case-study design. The quantitative phase used structured observation and document review to assess ten policy indicators on a four-point implementation scale; the qualitative phase then used semi-structured interviews with four key staff informants representing leadership, curriculum coordination, individualized education planning, and special-needs support to explain the observed profile. The diagnostic sum was 38/40, equivalent to 95% of the maximum possible checklist score rather than a population-validated implementation percentage. Eight indicators received 4/4, while professional development and monitoring and evaluation each received 3/4. Reflexive thematic analysis identified leadership commitment, IEP-based coordination, stakeholder collaboration, and routine reflection as mechanisms supporting implementation, alongside limited specialist capacity and incomplete standardization of professional learning and evaluation. Institutional readiness is therefore treated as an integrated interpretive construct inferred from the relationship between implementation evidence and organizational capacity, not as a separately validated measure. The study contributes a fine-grained, context-bounded account of how formal policy arrangements interact with professional, relational, and evidence-use mechanisms within a single integrated-school setting.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the KOLKA (Kolom Kata) application as a digital learning medium for improving SPOK (Subject, Predicate, Object, and Adverbial) sentence construction among deaf students. The study employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential exploratory design. Six deaf students at SLB BC YPLAB Cibaduyut participated in the study. Qualitative data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while quantitative data were obtained using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data were analyzed using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR), Aiken’s V, Cronbach’s Alpha, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed very high instrument validity (CVR > 0.99), good reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.76), and high feasibility of the KOLKA application (Aiken’s V > 0.94). Students’ mean scores increased from 44.16 on the pretest to 85.83 on the posttest, with a significant difference (p = 0.026). The findings indicate that KOLKA provides promising support for visual-based sentence learning among deaf students.
