SOSIALISASI KEPADA MASYARAKAT DERMAYU UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN TENTANG KARAKTERISTIK DAN PENDIDIKAN ANAK TUNAGRAHITA

Abstract

Mentally retarded children is a term used to refer to children whose intellectual intelligence is below average or below normal. This counseling aims to analyze and describe the outreach efforts carried out among the Dermayu community to increase their understanding of the characteristics and education of mentally retarded children. Intellectually disabled individuals are individuals who have significant intellectual disabilities, and understanding their characteristics and education is critical to creating an inclusive environment and providing appropriate support. This counseling shows that there is a limited level of understanding among the Dermayu community regarding the characteristics and education of mentally retarded children. This shows the need for more effective socialization. Effective socialization is carried out, including holding workshops, which focus on the level of community understanding regarding children with intellectual disabilities. The results of this counseling provide a clearer view of how to increase the Dermayu community's understanding of children with intellectual disabilities. These steps can contribute to the formation of a society that is more inclusive and understanding of individuals with intellectual disabilities, as well as improving the quality of life for mentally retarded children in Dermayu.
