Abstract

This study examines the impact of the inclusive library program on access to higher education for people with disabilities in Indonesia. The study used a quantitative method with a survey approach, involving 150 students with disabilities from ten universities. The main objective was to assess how inclusive library facilities, assistive technology, staff training, and institutional policy support contribute to increased access to education. The research findings show that while the availability of accessible facilities and assistive technology in libraries is crucial, it alone is not enough to improve access to higher education for people with disabilities significantly. Instead, comprehensive training for library staff and strong institutional policies significantly impact access to higher education, indicating that these elements are essential in creating a supportive and inclusive educational environment. These results underscore the need for a holistic approach to developing library services that meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. The study concludes that policymakers and educational institutions should prioritize these factors to foster an inclusive academic atmosphere.

Abstract

The interaction between self-efficacy and several demographic variables is still rarely explored in the context of explaining teacher’s attitude toward inclusive education practices. This paper therefore aims to investigate the relationship between these variables and their interaction in explaining teacher’s attitude. Ninety-five teachers participated in our study by completing questionnaires and psychological scales capturing their self-efficacy, demographic information, and attitude towards inclusive education. The results suggest that higher self-efficacy may predict higher score in attitude (R2 = 0.045, F(1, 93) = 4.41, p < 0.05), yet demographic variables cannot significantly act as predictors (R2 = 0.13, F(13, 81) = 0.89, p = 0.56). This study brings an important notion to prioritize strategies to increase teacher self-efficacy to foster the implementation of inclusive education practices.

Abstract

The absence of culturally relevant and accessible literacy materials for the deaf community is a pressing concern that has persisted due to the failure of existing materials to adequately address the unique needs of this demographic. This article expounds on the endeavors to mobilize and promote a culture-based literacy movement for people with disabilities, with a particular focus on Deaf community. In this context, cultural literacy is defined as the understanding and appreciation of a culture's values, beliefs, and practices and the ability to express and interpret these elements through various forms of communication. Visual media constitutes the predominant medium for cultural literacy promotion among Deaf community. The Minangkabau folktale is selected due to its cultural richness. Beyond the transmission of values and norms, folktales are believed to play a pivotal role in shaping and reinforcing the Minangkabau identity of Deaf community. The collection of Minangkabau folktales is curated based on its cultural values. The selected folktale is then adapted into illustrated stories and transformed into animations. These animations, when presented in sign language by JBI (Juru Bahasa Isyarat, or” Sign Language Interpreters”), who play a crucial role in translating the content into sign language, are expected to not only make the content accessible but also to inspire and empower Deaf community. The creation of these animated folktales is poised to serve as a model for enriching cultural literacy materials, particularly for Deaf people.

Abstract

One of the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to eradicate hunger and achieve global food security. People with disabilities are often confronted with socioeconomic challenges, stemming from their inability to access fundamental services and opportunities. This is largely due to their disability, which can impede their ability to participate fully in the workforce and generate income. Their condition limits access to sufficient food. This study aims to analyze the food security level of households with disabilities in Indonesia using SUSENAS data. To this end, we have employed a cross-tabulation analysis to address the research question. The study’s findings reveal that a significant proportion of households with disabilities in Indonesia are food insecure, characterized by food vulnerability, insufficient food intake, and food insecurity. This findings underscores the heightened vulnerability of households with disabilities in Indonesia to food insecurity, a phenomenon that is further compounded by their diverse socio-demographic characteristics. The Indonesian government must develop policies that specifically target people with disabilities and increase their access to sufficient food and existing opportunities.

Abstract

This study investigates the accessibility of public spaces, particularly roads and sidewalks, for persons with disabilities in the city of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This research is driven by the critical need to create an inclusive environment that serves all individuals, emphasized by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Indonesian Law No. 8/2016. The purpose of this research is to evaluate infrastructure, identify obstacles faced by individuals with disabilities, and propose a model of disability-friendly public spaces. We used case study methods, focusing on the city of Parepare which involve the collection of in-depth interview data with people with disabilities, public space managers, and government officials, direct observation of roads and sidewalks, and analysis of relevant policy and regulation. We used thematic analysis to analyze the collected data, identifying key themes related to accessibility challenges and potential solutions. These findings reveal that the streets and sidewalks of Parepare often lack adequate accessibility features, such as sufficient width, smooth surfaces, and clear signage. Obstacles such as utility poles and parked vehicles further hinder mobility. The implication is the need for improved infrastructure design, policy implementation, and public awareness to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities. This study recommends enhancing collaboration with the disability community, conducting regular audits of public spaces, and implementing universal design principles to create an inclusive environment and make Parepare a Disability Smart City (DSC).

Abstract

In the era of society 5.0, high percentage of internet penetration in Indonesia also poses one of the risks, namely related to the misuse of children and person with disabilities's privacy and personal data. Protection of children and person with disabilities's personal data in Indonesia is an urgency that needs to be immediately accommodated in Indonesia regulations. Unfortunately, according the existing regulations, the protection of children's personal data is only found in the Indonesia Personal Data Protection Law and merely regulated in three articles. The problems and challenges in providing legal protection for children and person with disabilities's personal data in Indonesia are in the need for regulations which comprehensively regulate the protection of children's personal data. The Indonesia Personal Data Protection Law can be amended by also including three points, namely: the meaning of special processing, parental and guardian consent, and limitations on the processing of children's personal data.

Abstract

This study explores the empowerment of persons with disabilities through guidance from Qur'anic verse Surah al-Nūr/24:61, offering ethical and spiritual frameworks to reduce discrimination and enhance well-being. The research emphasizes applying Qur'anic principles, including compassionate care, spiritual psychology, and ability-based empowerment, to the lives of persons with disabilities. Using an analytical exegesis method that incorporates historical, linguistic, and legal contexts, as well as literature reviews, the findings underscore the significance of eliminating stigma through empathy, enhancing mental well-being through spiritual connections, and empowering individuals according to their abilities. The verse directs able-bodied people to engage in inclusive social interactions, fostering acceptance and support for persons with disabilities. The study concludes that integrating Qur'anic values into social policies provides a comprehensive approach to creating inclusive and just societies, while offering insights for developing religiously informed, disability-inclusive policies that address the needs and dignity of all individuals.

Abstract

Self-advocacy skills are essential for students with disabilities to effectively communicate their needs and obtain necessary accommodations, which are crucial for their academic success and independence. Despite the importance of these skills, students with high-incidence disabilities, including learning disabilities (LD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), often enter the postsecondary education environment lacking the self-advocacy skills required to request accommodations. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of self-advocacy instruction using the Self-Advocacy and Conflict Resolution (SACR) training on the self-awareness of college students with LD and ADHD regarding their self-advocacy knowledge and skills. Participants were three first or second-year college students with high-incidence disabilities who had minimal experience requesting academic accommodations. Using a pre/post survey, the study measured participants' perceptions of their self-advocacy abilities before and after instruction. The results demonstrated a significant increase in participants' self-reported confidence and skills across several domains: self-identification, requesting and using accommodations, communication, and conflict resolution. Potential implications for self-advocacy instruction are discussed.

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of disability and gender, analyzing the compounded disadvantages individuals with disabilities face in education and employment contexts. Drawing from a wide range of academic sources, including feminist disability studies and labor market research, the paper examines how gender and disability intersect to create unique barriers for women and men with disabilities. The research highlights the structural inequalities in both education and employment that limit access to opportunities, focusing particularly on the African context. By analyzing these factors through a gendered disability lens, the study advocates for inclusive policies and practices that address both the challenges of gender and disability simultaneously.

Abstract

The effectiveness of special versus inclusive education settings in addressing the learning difficulties students with disabilities encounter in Tanzanian public primary schools has not received as much attention. Regardless of the Tanzania’s efforts to ensure a better education for students with special needs, a proper approach to executing such education has been yet debatable. Of all the conflicting ideas, nevertheless, less has been done to examine the current situation and challenges in the practice of special and inclusive education in Tanzanian public primary schools. This study examined the dilemma of special vs. inclusive education in Tanzanian public primary schools: stakeholders' perspectives. Specifically, the study examined the current practice, challenges, and stakeholders’ perspectives on special and inclusive education in Tanzanian public primary schools. The study employed a case study research design, whereby interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data. The study found slight variations in the level of severity among the challenges facing both special and inclusive education which include inaccessibility and inadequacy of learning materials, classrooms, special teachers, and meal funds. The study recommended that the government as a main funder of education allocate sufficient budgets to finance both special and inclusive public primary schools to enable the provision of education in a friendly manner to students with disabilities.
