Abstract

Communication skills are fundamental to children’s development, as they enable social engagement, participation in learning, and independence in daily activities. Children with cerebral palsy commonly face communication challenges arising from speech motor limitations, deficits in expressive and receptive language, and complex communication demands, which can adversely influence their overall quality of life. This community-based program was designed to enhance the communication abilities of children with cerebral palsy by providing educational interventions for parents that emphasized speech therapy, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and the VI-KN method. The program was implemented at Politeknik Al-Islam Bandung on January 7, 2026, following an educational framework that included preparation, implementation, and evaluation phases. The activities comprised pre-test and post-test evaluations, interactive lectures, AAC demonstrations, practical application of the VI-KN method, and guided discussion sessions. Findings revealed a marked improvement in participants’ knowledge, with mean scores increasing from 40% before the intervention to 90% afterward. Parents also reported greater confidence and improved practical abilities in facilitating their children’s communication at home. In summary, this program effectively strengthened parental knowledge and competencies in supporting communication development among children with cerebral palsy. Future initiatives are recommended to be conducted continuously and expanded through collaborative efforts among families, professionals, and community stakeholders to promote inclusive and community-based rehabilitation.

Abstract

Anak dengan cerebral palsy (CP) sering mengalami hambatan komunikasi yang mempengaruhi kemandirian dalam aktivitas sehari-hari, termasuk toilet training. Salah satu metode Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) yang dapat digunakan adalah Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan mendampingi orang tua dalam penerapan kartu PECS untuk melatih kemandirian toilet training pada anak cerebral palsy usia 12 tahun. Metode yang digunakan meliputi edukasi kepada orang tua, demonstrasi, praktik penggunaan kartu PECS, observasi, serta evaluasi melalui pre-test dan post-test yang dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil menunjukkan belum terjadi peningkatan kemandirian toilet training setelah pendampingan. Berdasarkan observasi, subjek lebih mudah memahami instruksi menggunakan benda nyata dibandingkan simbol bergambar pada kartu PECS. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa media bergambar belum sesuai dengan karakteristik belajar subjek. Selain itu, durasi pendampingan yang singkat, latihan di rumah yang belum optimal, dan karakteristik perkembangan subjek diduga turut memengaruhi hasil. Pendampingan selanjutnya disarankan menggunakan media yang lebih konkret, melibatkan orang tua secara konsisten, serta disertai evaluasi lanjutan oleh tenaga profesional.

Abstract

Communication is a cornerstone of human interaction, yet adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) often face significant challenges in pragmatic language use, including speech acts. These challenges hinder their ability to express thoughts, fulfil requests, and engage socially, thus affecting their overall quality of life. This study investigates the types of speech acts employed by adolescents with ASD, focusing on their use of directives, expressives, assertives, and commissive as categorized by Searle and analyzes the functional purpose of these acts based on Leech’s framework. Using an observational methodology, data were collected from verbal interactions in structured and naturalistic settings, capturing authentic communicative behaviors. The findings revealed a dominance of directive speech acts, followed by expressive, assertive, and commissive acts. This pattern reflects the participants’ emphasis on requesting actions and expressing immediate needs, which aligns with their developmental priorities in communication. Despite these strengths, limitations in more complex and varied speech acts were noted, suggesting gaps in pragmatic competence. The study underscores the importance of targeted interventions to enhance the communicative competence of adolescents with ASD. By focusing on the functional and situational use of speech acts, therapists and educators can develop modules that not only build pragmatic skills but also foster social integration and personal autonomy. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on ASD and pragmatic language development, offering practical implications for therapy, education, and parental support.
