Inclusive Education for Early-Age Blind Children

Abstract

Indonesia is not yet a friendly country for people with disabilities. One of the services needed by persons with disabilities is education. The proper education needs to be applied in special schools are implemented in inclusive schools. Inclusive schools need help with supporting infrastructure that is not yet suitable for early childhood learning. Therefore, we need an accurate picture of developing good facilities and infrastructure. One of them is the concept of “Disability Friendly Schools,” where schools are schools that are friendly to people with disabilities. The method of writing this article is a literature study. This paper aims to explain the concept of inclusive education ideal for blind children in terms of facilities and infrastructure. The result of this discussion is to explain the concept of inclusive education for blind children seen from proper facilities and infrastructure ranging from assessment tools, orientation and mobility, learning/academic aids, visual aids, auditive aids, and physical exercise tools.
