Abstract

This article discusses a community service project conducted by Communication Science and Public Relations lecturers from the Faculty of Communication and Social Sciences at Telkom University in collaboration with Cicendo State Special School in Bandung. The project aims to empower hearing- impaired students by providing vocational and entrepreneurship training, addressing broader challenges faced by people with disabilities in Indonesia. Empowerment is conducted through training that includes three sessions. The first session is a presentation on entrepreneurship theory, the second session involves practical application of the Business Model Canvas, and the third session is a group activity to encourage teamwork and creativity. The results show a significant improvement in students' understanding of business concepts and their ability to develop viable business models. Challenges related to varying literacy levels among students were addressed by providing additional support and resources. This initiative highlights the importance of inclusive education and the need for ongoing efforts to promote disability inclusion in line with Sustainable Development Goals 4 (quality education) and 10 (reduced inequalities). This Community Service Program not only equips students with practical skills but also boosts their confidence and readiness to meet industry needs.

Abstract

Ensuring equitable access to education for children with disabilities (CWD) is essential to maintaining their fundamental right to learning. Despite strides made in inclusive education, there remains a need for more cohesive efforts, as evidenced by a review in other research mentioning the lack of readiness and management. This research explores the factors influencing parents’ intentions regarding the pursuit of higher education for their disabled children, framed within the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to explain the underlying behavioral drivers. The study indicates that parental attitudes play a significant role in shaping these intentions, with knowledge as a background factor, showing a moderate significance level. Emphasizing the pivotal role of cultivating positive attitudes towards inclusive higher education, the study underscores the critical importance of parental awareness regarding disability inclusion in higher education. Accordingly, efforts to strengthen parental understanding of inclusive education options are essential. The study advocates for collaborative actions between parents and educational institutions to establish nurturing and inclusive learning environments for disabled students. Its findings highlight the necessity for targeted interventions through communication strategy to enhance parental awareness and foster positive attitudes towards inclusive education, thus driving the accessibility and quality of education for CWD.
