Abstract

This paper explores the multifaceted expectations of Disability Inclusive Budgeting (DIB) among disabled people, emphasizing its significance beyond mere disability mainstreaming within development goals. Informants' insights reveal that DIB carries diverse meanings and potential impacts. Firstly, there is an anticipation that DIB can facilitate the integration of disability considerations across all government programs through appropriate budget allocations. Additionally, the study participants express a broader aspiration: they believe that DIB has the potential to empower them to fulfill their civic responsibilities by positioning them as active agents of development. This, in turn, would enable their meaningful contributions to state-led development initiatives.

Abstract

Microfinance can be an effective strategy for poverty reduction among Persons with Disability. However, lack of investment and livelihood knowledge and skills and consumption tendencies may undermine this strategy. A qualitative case study that explored the investment practices of Persons with Disability in informal microfinance groups was conducted in Uganda. Findings revealed that despite barriers to learning and investment, Persons with Disability who had positive attitudes borrowed from informal microfinance groups and invested profitably. They learned from a wide range of sources in their community. The study concludes that despite barriers, Persons with Disability borrow and invest and that attitudes, knowledge and skills, severity of impairment and location, influence their investment choices. To enhance investment, it is recommended that barriers to adult learning and investment be removed through sensitisation and training, monitoring compliance with accessibility standards and policy reforms.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of peer support and self-esteem in the normal adjustment of adolescents with visual disabilities in Bali. 24 adolescents with total blindness and 42 adolescents with low vision, aged 10 to 22 years old, were recruited using a purposive sampling method in this study. The highly reliable peer support scale, self-esteem scale, and normal adjustment scale were used to measure these variables. The results of multiple linear regression analyses showed that peer support and self-esteem significantly predicted the normal adjustment among adolescents with visual disabilities (total blindness and low vision). Furthermore, another separated multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that only self-esteem predicted normal adjustment among adolescents with total blindness condition. The implication of the results addressed the need to promote peer support and self-esteem among adolescents with visual disabilities to support their adjustment process in a not-always-inclusive environment.

Abstract

Despite legal assurances of equal rights and access to healthcare, discrimination and stigma hinder the fulfillment of these rights, impacting employment opportunities and societal integration, particularly for individuals with mental disabilities. The global economic burden of mental health issues underscores the urgency of addressing disparities in access to healthcare services, especially for individuals with mental disabilities. This research is then dedicated to analyzing how accessible to health services for individuals with mental disabilities based on the local integrated services model; and how do rural communities accept individuals with mental disabilities after participating in routine local integrated services, named Posyandu Jiwa in Indonesia, for mental health activities. The research method used is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. We conducted this research in the Inclusive Village program in Gianyar Regency, namely Suwat Village, Sumita Village, Petak Kaja Village, and Singapadu Village.

Abstract

Many studies have been conducted on travel satisfaction with public transportation in various countries. However, no studies have reached inclusive groups such as persons with disabilities, although most of them depend on public transportation. Knowledge about travel satisfaction of persons with disabilities can be a reference for improving public transportation services that are adequate to the mobility needs of persons with disabilities. Therefore, this study aims to determine the travel satisfaction of persons with disabilities regarding public transportation in Jakarta using the Satisfaction to Travel (STS) measurement scale. The results of this study show not only the satisfaction of persons with disabilities with public transportation but also the influence of duration factors and the number of variations in transportation modes used.

Abstract

Teaching students with special educational needs in higher institutions of learning, through the use of information and communication technology (ICT) facilities and equipment is beneficial to both the students and their lecturers. This study, therefore, investigates the contribution of lecturers’ personal factors (age, teaching experience, area of specialization and educational qualification) to the attitude of lecturers towards the use of ICT in teaching students with special educational needs in higher institutions of learning in Oyo State Nigeria. The descriptive research design was used, while the multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted for the study. There was a purposive selection of two institutions namely, the University of Ibadan and Federal College of Education (Special) Oyo, Oyo State, Nigeria. Using random sampling technique, 80 lecturers were selected from the two institutions. An adapted questionnaire on the attitudes of in-service teachers toward the use of the ICT was adopted for data collection. Data was analysed using frequency counts, percentages and multiple regression statistics. Demographic profiles revealed that the majority of the respondents were aged 44 years and above, highly experienced lecturers, Ph.D holders, special educators and from the non-science disciplines. The joint contribution of personal factors to lecturers’ attitude towards the use of ICT in teaching persons with special educational needs shows a multiple correlation R of 0.147 and a multiple R2 of 0.022. Also, the relative contributions of the independent variables to the dependent variable, expressed as beta weights, reveal: age (β = 0.02), teaching experience (β = 0.10), area of specialization (β = 0.07), and educational qualification (β = 0.03) respectively. The study concluded that the selected demographic variables are not significant predictors of lecturers’ attitude towards the use of ICT in teaching students with special educational needs in higher institutions of learning. It was recommended that all categories of lecturers, notwithstanding their demographics, should be encouraged to acquire more skills in the use of ICT tools for teaching their students with special educational needs and use these skills effectively for enhanced learning outcomes.

Abstract

In 2010, Uganda scrapped an ambitious tax incentive provision in the Persons with Disabilities Act, 2006 that had allowed employers to claim up to 15% tax reduction in annual income provided that they hired at least 10 persons with disabilities at any job level. As though it were a trade-off, the 15% tax incentive was replaced with the special grant, a grant intended for persons with disabilities organized in small groups to generate income. The special grant started off as a pilot in 48 districts before it was rolled out nationally. Since 2019, the responsible ministry has been implementing two models of the special grant: the district special grant and the national special grant. This study focused on the district special grant, and primarily explored the experiences of persons with disabilities in accessing and utilizing the district special grant, and the difference the grant is making. The study adopted a qualitative research approach using interviews and focus group discussions to collect data from 10 beneficiary groups drawn from 6 districts. Focus group discussions were conducted with special grant beneficiary groups while district officials responsible for the special grant and disability union representatives were individually interviewed. Data were analyzed using template coding and thematic analysis. Study findings revealed limited access to the district grant, dismal grant amounts, significant deviations from implementation guidelines, operational dilemmas and overlooking disability related expenses like the costs for moving with a personal assistant. Nonetheless, participants commended the special grant for enabling them to build social networks, gain self-confidence and start small income generating activities. The small grant amount disbursed to big group size groups that lack business start-up skills did not support impactful business initiatives. The study revealed a strong evidence from individual grants as opposed to a group grants for starting income generating activities. The ministry of gender should consider remodeling the special grant into a social protection scheme that awards small grants to individual income generating activities.
