PENDEKATAN GURU DAN KOLABORASI DENGAN ORANG TUA SERTA PERAN PSIKOLOG DALAM MENGIKUTSERTAKAN ANAK BERKEBUTUHAN KHUSUS DI KELAS REGULAR UNTUK SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This study aims to understand teachers' challenges and strategies in dealing with
students with special needs in inclusive schools. The method used was an interview
with a teacher who has experience teaching inclusive classes in public schools. The
main problems encountered include variations in students' special needs, such as
cognitive, emotional and behavioral disorders. Teachers also face obstacles in
collaboration with parents who are less than optimal in providing support at home.
Interviews showed that teachers adjusted the curriculum based on the abilities of
students with disabilities, focusing on basic skills such as reading, writing and
counting and independence. Interactive learning media such as videos are used to
improve student focus. Collaboration between teachers, parents and professionals
is recognized as important in supporting student development, although
implementation is not always optimal. In addition, students with disabilities are
integrated with regular students by providing modified Learner Worksheets (LKPD)
as needed. In conclusion, inclusive learning requires curriculum adaptation,
interactive learning media and close collaboration between teachers, parents and
professionals to overcome the learning difficulties of students with disabilities and
ensure they can develop to their potential.
