Abstract

Students with visual impairments often face challenges in performing orientation and mobility (O&M) activities independently, particularly without assistive tools such as canes. In the school environment, these skills are essential to ensure safety, spatial awareness, and confidence. This study aims to explore the teacher's strategies in enhancing the O&M skills of a visually impaired student within a school setting without relying on a cane. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving a Grade VII student and a classroom teacher at SLB A Bina Insani. The findings reveal that the teacher served as a facilitator, motivator, and primary trainer by applying gradual, structured training methods, including step-counting, spatial orientation, sensory exploration, and route repetition. As a result, the student demonstrated significant improvement in navigating the school environment confidently and independently without a cane. This study highlights the importance of teacher involvement and adaptive strategies in fostering mobility independence among students with visual impairments.

Abstract

The research aims to examine the effectiveness of the use of interactive technology in helping children with intellectual disability recognize vowels. The research was conducted using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method using a qualitative approach implemented in two cycles at SLB Pelita Bunga, South Lampung. The subjects in this study consisted of 5 children with mild intellectual disabilitiy in class II. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and documentation. The learning method used was learning by doing by inviting children to interact directly and practice what was in the application. The results of the study showed that the use of educational technology, especially the Marbel TK PAUD application, significantly improved children's ability to recognize vowels. In the first cycle, students showed increased involvement, but their letter recognition abilities were still limited. After the learning method was refined and the application was modified with more voice feedback and repetition features in the second cycle, students' abilities increased significantly. Interactive technology has been shown to improve the ability to recognize vowels. It is recommended that schools utilize similar technology as the main media in learning for children with special needs education.

Abstract

Children with hearing impairments (deafness) are individuals who experience loss of hearing ability, either partially or completely. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of Sign Language for deaf children Manually Coded (BIM) in improving communication of deaf children at SLB Dharma Bakti Pertiwi Lampung. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with data collection techniques through observation, an experimental approach with a one-group pre-test, post-test design. The results of the study indicate that the consistent application of BIM in the learning process can improve the communication skills of deaf children, both in understanding the subject matter and in interacting socially in the school environment. After the study was conducted, the results obtained by students A and B experienced a significant increase of 20%. And the important effect of this learning process is that students feel safe and confident. Teachers who are trained in the use of BIM are able to facilitate a more inclusive and effective learning process. In addition, the use of BIM also increases the confidence and active participation of deaf students in learning activities. Thus, the use of BIM is proven to be effective as a communication and learning medium for deaf children at SLB Dharma Bakti Pertiwi Lampung. My suggestion is that simple training can help students develop optimal language skills. Future research could involve more subjects of various ages.

Abstract

The global movement towards inclusive education has gained momentum in recent years, aiming to provide equitable education for all students, regardless of their abilities. Indonesia, in response to this transformative movement, has ratified an inclusive education policy, aiming to provide educational opportunities to students with disabilities within regular classroom settings. However, translating policy into practice poses significant challenges, with deeply entrenched medical model perspectives influencing public perceptions of individuals with disabilities.This article delves into the necessity of fostering a comprehensive understanding of and valuing diversity to support the establishment of an inclusive school environment in Indonesia. It explores the essential shift from the medical to the social model in understanding students with disabilities and highlights the significant role of beliefs and attitudes in shaping the implementation of inclusive education. Furthermore, it examines the alignment of Islamic values, particularly the "Fikih Difabel", with the principles of inclusive education.The article emphasizes the pivotal role of creating an inclusive culture within schools, guided by the Index for Inclusion, to develop sustainable inclusive practices. Strategies to overcome challenges in promoting acceptance and inclusivity among stakeholders, including educators, parents, and students, are proposed, such as education and awareness, engaging religious scholars, collaboration and partnership, cultivating an inclusive school culture, parent and community involvement, monitoring and evaluation, and advocacy for policy reform.By aligning inclusive education principles with Islamic values, specifically through the "Fikih Difabel," Muhammadiyah can lead by example in fostering inclusive school environments within its institutions. These efforts can positively impact the lives of students with disabilities and promote a sense of unity and empathy among all students, contributing to a truly inclusive society in Indonesia.
