Abstract

The easy access to inappropriate content through digital media presents a particular challenge in education, particularly in special education. This research aims to get a better understanding of sexual and reproductive health education at the Pembina Pekanbaru Special School, Indonesia. The method of this research uses a qualitative method, and the data is collected through interviews with 4 teachers and 2 parents of students. The results indicate that sexual and reproductive health education at the school is still limited to aspects of the content of human anatomy and physiology. However, other aspects such as sexual and reproductive health are not given sufficient attention. Factors that contribute to the limitations of the learning process at the school such as a lack of resources, poorly structured curricula, and inadequate training for teachers. Therefore, more coordination and comprehensive efforts are needed to improve sexual and reproductive health education for students with special needs at the school.

Abstract

Cases of children experiencing speech impediments occur in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) because most of them have difficulty in mastering verbal language. The role of the family to reduce the gap is needed so that the child's development can occur optimally. Using the Mand model is expected to help reduce gaps and optimize verbal expressive language development through family-based early intervention. First, a child profile and family profile are developed into a program to address children's verbal expressive language needs and family skill needs. The form of intervention carried out includes the implementation of the program from the interventionist to the family and the implementation of the intervention from the family to the child. The results of the intervention program indicate that the mand model is effective. Children's verbal expressive language skills increase as seen from the acquisition of new vocabulary that children can say. This model is also effective for families because it is natural and easy to follow.

Abstract

The intense job competition and the low absorption rate of special needs school graduates in the business and industrial sectors are allegedly due to the ineffective implementation of the link-and-match concept. This study aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities faced by special needs schools in preparing students for the workforce through the Teaching Factory (TEFA) model. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected from two principals and six vocational skills teachers through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results indicate that teacher competence in mastering vocational skills remains low, the curriculum oriented toward Competency-Based Training (CBT) and Production-Based Training (PBT) has not been properly accommodated, and infrastructure and financial resources are limited. However, several opportunities were identified, including principals’ good understanding of the TEFA concept, extensive partnerships with related institutions (Vocational High Schools and industries), vocational skills programs developed based on needs assessments, and vocational skills roadmaps aligned with school visions and missions. The study concludes that the main challenges faced by special needs schools revolve around human resources, financial resources, service programs, and infrastructure, while opportunities exist in human resources and service programs. These findings highlight that special needs schools continue to face significant obstacles in effectively implementing the TEFA model to prepare students for employment. Therefore, a proper and comprehensive analysis is necessary to identify operational strategies that can minimize challenges and maximize opportunities for special needs education in implementing an adaptive and accommodating TEFA model.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the stigma experienced by persons with disabilities, focusing on physical and sexual stigma and its relationship with self-actualization. Using a qualitative approach, the study involved 11 individuals with disabilities aged 20–31 years from various regions in Indonesia. Data were collected through questionnaires addressing sources and forms of stigma, as well as participants’ perceptions of their ability to achieve self-actualization, particularly in romantic and sexual relationships. Findings indicate that more than half of the respondents experienced stigma related to their physical condition, especially from family and neighborhood environments. Sexual stigma was less prevalent, with only a quarter of participants reporting such experiences, likely due to the cultural taboo surrounding sexuality in Indonesia. Notably, male participants were more likely to face stigma from family members, while females encountered it more in social settings. Despite facing stigma, the majority of respondents maintained a positive belief in their ability to form fulfilling relationships and achieve self-actualization. Only one respondent expressed doubt about finding a suitable partner. These findings suggest that while stigma remains a persistent issue, it does not uniformly hinder self-actualization, as individual resilience, religious beliefs, and social support play moderating roles. Further research with a larger and more diverse population is needed to better understand how stigma impacts individuals with disabilities across different cultural and social contexts.

Abstract

Inclusive schools have an important role in creating a friendly educational environment for all students, including those with special needs. One important aspect in creating an inclusive school is increasing empathy of regular students towards their friends with special needs. This study aims to develop and test the feasibility and practicality of the classical guidance model with problem-based learning techniques to increase regular students' empathy towards children with special needs in guidance and counseling services at 10 Inclusive State Junior High Schools in Yogyakarta. This research is research and development with the Borg & Gall model with 7 stages: (1) initial research and information gathering; (2) planning and design; (3) initial product development; (4) initial field testing; (5) initial product revision; (6) main field testing; (7) operational product revision. The research subjects involved one material expert, one model expert, one instrument expert, 10 Guidance and Counseling teachers, and 100 students. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, questionnaires, and empathy scales. The results of this study indicate that: (1) the classical guidance model produces very feasible products by model experts with a score of 92% and material experts with a score of 93%; (2) the classical guidance model produces practical products by Guidance and Counseling teachers with a score of 88%. The product scores that have been given by experts can be applied in schools and influence regular students to increase empathy. This research still needs further development by developing science, can be applied in various other schools and further strengthen the implementation of inclusive education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Educational services for children with special needs or students with disabilities, currently in its implementation has changed from what was previously implemented in special schools, developing in a general/regular school setting known as an inclusive school. The basic principle in inclusive education is that the implementation of education is based on the special needs and individual differences in a regular education setting. Guidance and counseling services for children with special needs are greatly needed, both in special schools and in inclusive schools. The education process at school will certainly experience many problems in learning, social interaction, accessibility, and provision of human resources. These problems can be minimized by the presence of counselors in schools, both in special schools and in inclusive schools. Based on data obtained from 13 schools related to children with special needs counseling services, it is known that ABK BK services in inclusive schools, both at elementary to secondary school levels, are carried out by class teachers, counselors, and special education teachers. The existence of counseling services for children with special needs, especially in schools that provide inclusive education, ultimately needs to be prepared in line with the implementation of DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation Number 40 of 2021, when schools according to type and level accept children with special needs to study together in regular schools in an inclusive education setting.
