Abstract

Cerebral Palsy children have difficulty in terms of language skills and expressing their desires. The barrier is called the expressive language barrier. Expressive language barriers are characterized by speech delays that do not even develop, so they have difficulty interacting and communicating with their environment. Based on the explanation, it is important to research the use of an aided language stimulation strategy. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of the aided language stimulation strategy on increasing the expressive language of children with cerebral palsy. This study uses a quantitative approach with a single-subject research type with an A-B-A research design. The research subjects in this study were a boy and a girl in second grade with cerebral palsy. The information collection techniques use action tests. The information is processed and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis of conditions and between conditions, then presented in the form of a table and graph. Based on the research result, showed that there was an effect of aided language stimulation strategy on the subject's expressive language development.  This can be seen from the baseline results of the two subjects, namely subject R at baseline-1 was 30%, in the intervention phase (B) was 48.75%, and at baseline-2 was 58.75%. The results for subject N at baseline-1 was 20%, intervention phase (B) was 40.62%, and at baseline-2 phase was 52.5%.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought rapid changes in various areas of life, including education and technology. One of the learning media that the deaf can use to improve their ability to compose sentence structures is I-CHAT (I Can Hear and Talk). I-CHAT is a portal that contains applications that function as tools for the deaf in language acquisition. In communicating, mastery of sentence structure is crucial. It is because with the correct sentence structure, other people will better understand what we are talking about, and besides that, communication becomes more effective and efficient. Communication barriers that occur in deaf children are caused by hearing impairment, which ultimately requires deaf children only to use sight to acquire their receptive language. This has an impact on the acquisition of imperfect or partial deaf children's receptive language because not everything they see can be understood. Therefore, if a deaf child makes a sentence, the sentence structure is sometimes wrong. This research aims to determine the use of I-CHAT in the preparation of sentence structures for deaf students at Inclusive School Sukabumi City. This research is experimental with a quantitative approach. The results of the research show that the use of I-CHAT can improve the ability to compose sentence structures for deaf children in Special School Sukabumi City.

Abstract

From adults’ learning perspectives, parenting children with intellectual disabilities is considered a social reality interestingly researched, particularly related to the challenges and experiences during the parenting process encountered by parents who lack knowledge and understanding of intellectual disabilities. This research aims to (1) describe the configuration of parenting challenges in-depth and (2) explore the subjective-educative experiences derived from the challenges. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. The data was derived from in-depth interviews with parents of children with moderate intellectual disability. The data were analyzed following the stages of the phenomenological method consisting of (1) description, (2) reduction, and (3) discovery of the main structure of meaning. The results show that (1) The challenges of the parenting process of children with intellectual disability require a high level of competence, encompassing both knowledge and technical parenting and psychological aspects, and (2) Various challenges in parenting children with disability lead to diverse subjective and educative experiences for parents. Based on the findings, this research recommends that parents continually improve parenting practices for children with intellectual disability by adhering to educational principles.

Abstract

Educating students with various types and degrees of disabilities in regular classrooms remains challenging. Despite the global agenda and push for inclusive education, students with disabilities, particularly those with multiple and severe disabilities, are still being educated in segregated environments. In this qualitative study of peer-reviewed research literature, we aim to understand students with intensive needs (SINs), their current situation in inclusive education systems in developed and developing countries, and the best approaches to how they are being or should be educated in inclusive education systems. The results indicate that students who experience severe challenges in their physical, intellectual, developmental, mental, or emotional capabilities, or a combination of these factors, could be called SINs, as they have a set of significant academic, communication, or behavioral challenges across various domains. Currently, most SINs worldwide spend 20% or more of their educational time outside of the regular school day class. We suggest that utilizing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles as part of the opportunities to learn (OTL) framework and the concept of Communities of Practice (CoP) would be useful in designing an inclusive education model in which SINs will not only be included but also benefit from the curriculum in a regular classroom. Future research should focus on the implementation of suggested inclusive education models for SINs.

Abstract

Parenting children with autism triggers stress for parents, especially mothers. Every mother needs to have coping strategies to overcome the stress experienced during parenting. This study aims to examine coping strategies in mothers of children with autism. A total of 50 mothers of children with autism participated in this research by filling out the F-COPES scale questionnaire, which consists of 5 subscales: acquiring social support, reframing, seeking spiritual support, mobilizing family support, and passive appraisal. Data was analyzed using Pearson Correlation analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis. The results show that the F-COPES scores of mothers of children with autism are in the moderate category. Reframing, seeking spiritual support, and mobilizing family support are three coping strategies that are most commonly used. Age and number of autistic symptoms in children influence the level of coping strategies of mothers of autistic children. The older the autistic child, the better the mother's coping strategies. Conversely, the more autistic symptoms a child has, the lower the coping strategies the mother has.
