Parents’ training needs for intellectual disability learning about daily life activities

Abstract

This study aims to explore the training needs of parents for the future of children with intellectual disabilities (ID). The survey research method is used in this study. The questionnaire was used as a guide for parents, and then every chosen programme required by the parents was mentioned in the interview. Data analysis was carried out by categorising parental training needs into four domains of daily activities. The respondents were eight parents who needed training on the programmes of daily activities in order to train their children with ID at home. The findings show that those parents have still not been able to express their rights to convey their needs. Likewise, when they are invited to arrange the structure of the workout schedule at home, they still respond passively. The conclusion is that schools should start to explore the needs of daily activities programmes and develop learning programmes with parents.

Arts Education for Children with Disabilities: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The problem is that not all-inclusive schools can provide proper assistance or treatment at school. Mumpuniarti et al (2021) identified that special schools and inclusive schools in Indonesia do not know the source of their programmes in the curriculum. The education system is very dependent on curriculum policies, but the reality on the ground is that there are many primary schools, especially inclusive schools, that do not meet the established standard due to the lack of a class guide, the student screening process, the characteristics of children with disabilities, the background of teachers' education, and even the development of teacher competencies according to inclusive school standards.…”
