Abstract

This study aims to explain the provision of supporting facilities and the role of teachers in building the potential of blind children with special needs at SMP Negeri 22 Surakarta. The method used is descriptive qualitative by collecting data through interviews, observation and documentation. The research findings show that the school has provided adequate facilities both in terms of physical (such as good lighting, accessibility of disability-friendly pathways, and space for consultation) and non-physical (support in extracurricular activities and inclusive ways of learning). Teachers function as facilitators, motivators, intermediaries and companions who actively help students understand the material and develop their singing talents. Adequate facilities and sensitive teacher approaches have been shown to increase the enthusiasm, participation and confidence of visually impaired students in inclusive settings. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between available facilities and the role of teachers in inclusive education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of inclusive education for slow learner students at SMPN 22 Surakarta, focusing on the role of teachers in designing, implementing, and evaluating learning that is tailored to the individual needs of students. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study revealed that teachers implemented various inclusive learning strategies, such as simplifying learning content, utilizing visual media, forming heterogeneous learning groups, and modifying the form and implementation of assessments. In addition, teachers actively build cooperation with parents through intensive communication to ensure the continuity of the learning process at home. These practices reflect the application of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principle and the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) theory proposed by Vygotsky. This study concludes that the success of inclusive education is not only determined by the teacher's ability to adjust pedagogical strategies, but also requires policy support from the school, continuous professional training, and close collaboration between teachers and families.

Abstract

In the current Generation Z era, the use of information technology-based media is still underutilized in special needs education, particularly for students with mild intellectual disabilities. Learning for students with such conditions will be more effective when supported by appropriate media that match their characteristics and needs. One potential solution is the use of animated digital video, which offers engaging visual and auditory stimuli to enhance students’ concentration. This study aims to describe how animated video can be used as an early intervention tool to support writing skills development in Grade VII students with mild intellectual disabilities at SLB Putra Mandiri. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method to observe and analyze the impact of using animated videos during writing lessons. The results showed that the animated video media improved students’ focus and engagement in the learning process. Students were more attentive and actively participated in writing tasks when animated videos were used. In conclusion, animated digital video media is proven to be an effective alternative learning tool that helps increase concentration and participation among students with mild intellectual disabilities during writing instruction.
