Abstract

Inclusive education for children with special needs (CSN) in Indonesia remains hindered by limited professional resources, inadequate inclusive infrastructure, and low public acceptance. This community-development based activities aim to address these barriers by implementing a structured therapeutic communication training program to the key stakeholders of Lentera Cita Karya Foundation, an inclusive school in Jakarta. The program targeted teachers, in-house therapists, and parents, through focus group discussions (FGD) designed to explore communication challenges and collaboratively build effective strategies. Over two months, trainings were delivered to 15 CSN, 4 therapists, 4 parents, and 4 teachers. In addition to communication training for adults, children participated in basic public speaking and photography sessions to strengthen their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills. The program concluded with a public seminar titled “ACT” (Acceptance, Caring, and Tolerance) attended by approximately 80 people, featuring expert speakers and community engagement sessions to promote inclusive dialogue. The seminar also showcased photos taken by the CSN during the training. Results from the intervention highlight that acceptance emerged as the most significant factor influencing CSN development. The findings underscore the importance of integrative, community-based therapeutic communication in supporting inclusive educational environments.

Abstract

Established in September 2023, the Lentera Cita Karya Foundation aims to address the educational and therapeutic needs in an inclusive community for children with special needs by providing holistic services through the Special Harmony School in North Jakarta. The school offers tailored education for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (including Down syndrome), incorporating therapeutic support such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, sensory integration, and parent-teacher skill development programs. Despite these efforts, the implementation of therapeutic communication remains a challenge for facilitators, including teachers and therapists. Issues include limited understanding of effective verbal and non-verbal communication strategies, emotional expression, and appropriate interaction in both medical and non-medical settings. To address these challenges, a community engagement program was conducted involving 12 participants, consisting of inclusive education teachers, therapists, and parents. The program utilized a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method, followed by expert-led sessions conducted by university lecturers. Over three separate sessions, participants engaged in thematic discussions on therapeutic communication, followed by structured presentations designed to enhance their conceptual and practical understanding. The initiative identified three major challenges: communication between therapists and children with special needs, the childrens communication with their environment, and persistent societal stigma. The program succeeded in improving participants awareness, emotional sensitivity, and basic therapeutic communication strategies applicable in inclusive educational settings.
