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

This study aimed to identify the culinary skill readiness of students with disabilities before participating in Field Work Practice (PKL) through adaptive pre-PKL training. The study employed a descriptive qualitative design with structured performance assessment involving four students with disabilities in a culinary higher education program. Data were collected through direct observation using a 1–5 rating rubric covering size consistency, shape consistency, neatness, work speed, and understanding of vegetable cutting types. The training covered five basic cutting techniques: slice, cube, chopped, julienne, and jardinier. The results showed heterogeneous readiness profiles. FH obtained the highest mean score of 4.6 and was categorized as highly ready, AC and AE each obtained 3.4 and were categorized as moderately ready, while EL obtained 1.8 and was categorized as not yet ready. At the indicator level, work speed had the lowest mean score (3.00), whereas size and shape consistency had the highest means (3.50). Adaptive pre-PKL training can serve as an initial diagnostic assessment and basis for individualized skill reinforcement.
