Abstract

The study investigated students with disabilities’ inclusion in virtual learning Environments (VLEs) in Uganda’s universities post-covid-19, focusing on identifying key elements that enhance accessibility and inclusivity to curricula; adaptable digital course materials and instructional methods for equal participation; assistive technologies and customized accommodations. The descriptive cross-sectional mixed research study gathered information using structured questionnaires (quantitative) and in-depth semi-structured interviews (qualitative) from students with disabilities studying various courses in eight universities of Uganda. The findings revealed that the adoption of inclusive online teaching methods remains surprisingly low across all the eight universities. This observation for example, is represented by 67.6% of learners with visual impairment could not read text during online lessons while 70.6% were unable to download notes in various forms, such as documents, PDFs, and audios. Further, despite the motivation of students with disabilities to succeed, they faced inadequate user-friendly accessibility features in digital educational resources, including inappropriate course materials, and lack of assistive technologies, with 92.8% of students with physical impairment lacking keyboard and mouse modifications, 69.2% of learners with hearing difficulties unable to communicate using smartphones during online lectures, and 79.4% of learners with visual impairment unable to transcribe Braille on-line using a computer. The study concluded that, promoting the inclusion of students with disabilities in VLEs necessitates recognition of limitations of hearing, intellectual, visual and physical impairment and recommends designing accessible virtual learning systems appropriate to their specific or unique individual learning needs. The study has implications of being invaluable for the Ministry of education, academic staff, administrators, ICT software instructional designers and support services to provide inclusive and user-friendly online resources as well as advocacy efforts towards overcoming obstacles encountered by students with disabilities in accessing VLEs.

Abstract

The presence of children with disabilities introduces unique challenges that significantly impact family dynamics, particularly marital satisfaction. Caregiving responsibilities often reduce the time married couples spend together, thereby influencing their marital satisfaction. Research indicates that spousal support whether emotional, appraisal, instrumental, or informational is a key predictor of marital satisfaction. This study examines the role of spousal support as a predictor of marital satisfaction among parents of children with disabilities. Employing a non-experimental quantitative approach with purposive sampling, the research involved 166 married couples with at least one child with disabilities living at home. Participants completed the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale and the Receipt of Spousal Support Scale. Results indicate that spousal support significantly influences marital satisfaction (p < 0.05), with emotional concern being the strongest contributing factor. This research contributes to the literature on the importance of spousal support in enhancing marital satisfaction.

Abstract

Sentra Mulya Jaya’s (SMJ) interior redesign in East Jakarta is essential to establishing a welcoming and cosy environment for all patrons, including those with disabilities. With a focus on multi-service delivery based on family, community, and residential needs, SMJ offers Social Rehabilitation Assistance Services (ATENSI). The purpose of this study is to determine which interior features of the SMJ facility meet the needs of users and to examine the area using the inclusive design concept. A Likert scale is employed in this mixed-methods approach, but no in-depth statistical analysis is done. Direct observation, service user interviews, and documentation analysis of spatial facilities were used to gather data. The results of the study show that SMJ’s implementation of inclusive design principles still requires work. Among the problems noted are: a) a disregard for accessibility; b) a lack of knowledge about the significance of inclusive design; and c) the detrimental effects of non-inclusive design on user experience. Inadequate accessibility considerations, a lack of education regarding inclusive design, and a failure to adequately incorporate universal design principles into the current interior layout are among the issues that have been identified. In addition to supporting the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 11 on inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and communities, this study offers specific recommendations for enhancing SMJ's interior design following inclusive design principles. It is anticipated that the results will improve service quality at Sentra Mulya Jaya and advance inclusive design theory and practice.
