Abstract

The aim of this research is to assist parents of children with disabilities in optimizing the learning support they provide by leveraging the knowledge and experiences of those who have successfully improved their children's learning outcomes. The positive deviance methodology was selected for its ability to facilitate the transfer of effective strategies among participants. This methodology was employed as an action research approach, with each step focused on finding solutions to the identified problems. The study involved 20 parents of children with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder residing in Sidoarjo. Qualitative data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and parents’ activity documentation submitted via Google Forms. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The research identified several strategies to enhance parental learning assistance for children with disabilities by first identifying common challenges faced by these parents. Additionally, the study demonstrates that the positive deviance approach is applicable to any community, encouraging other communities to explore various potential solutions in the face of adversity without relying on external assistance.

Abstract

In recent years, the virtual world has been filled with virtual influencers (VIs). @itskamisworld is the first VIs with disability as a digital inclusive space for people with disabilities. When VIs are becoming a digital marketing trend and there are allegations of objectification of women's bodies in them, it is important to question the inclusivity and presence of women with disabilities in virtual spaces which in many ways are still marginalized. Using Stuart Hall's representation theory and multimodal discourse analysis on every Instagram post @itskamisworld. The results demonstrated that Kami appears as a form of inclusiveness in the virtual world as well as being a space for advocating the domination of the construction of ideal women by representing perfect women and subjects who actively determine her needs. However, the desires and needs that Kami obtains are only virtual, fantasies that have the potential to become objects of capital exploitation.

Abstract

This study developed and evaluated an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) voice-over course tailored for a blind learner. Motivated by the need to make voice-over training accessible, the qualitative research focused on a 23-year-old blind university student. The course utilized non-visual methods, such as audio recordings, verbal instructions, and tactile tools, to teach vocal modulation, emotional expression, and clarity. Results showed significant improvement in the participant’s voice-over skills, including enhanced vocal modulation and emotional expression. Feedback indicated the course was effective but suggested adding more diverse practice scenarios and descriptive audio examples. The study contributes to inclusive education by demonstrating that specialized training programs can be adapted for blind learners. It provides a model for making voice-over work accessible and offers recommendations for applying the approach to other fields and assessing long-term impacts on professional development.

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).
