Abstract

A Letter Statement of Disability issued by a doctor or psychologist is an administrative document that must be submitted during the admissions process for students admitted through the disability affirmative admission program. In reality, many students with special needs are enrolled without this administrative documentation, causing schools unable to properly organize and deliver inclusive educational services. This study aims to analyses schools’ basic needs in implementing inclusive education and to develop the CHILDSEE website as a platform for the holistic identification of students with special needs. This study employs the Educational Design Research (EDR) method, using the Hannafin & Peck development model, which involves needs analysis, design, development, and implementation. The results of the needs analysis indicate that schools still face barriers in using identification instruments, teachers’ understanding to special needs characteristics, interpretation of identification results, documentation of progress, and follow-up on learning. These findings served as the basis for developing a design blueprint, subsequently developed into the CHILDSEE website. Expert validation results showed a validity rate of 94% among Special Education experts. Implementation results show that 96.8% of teachers gave positive ratings for the website’s guidance, identification, result processing, visualization, and accessibility. 75% of teachers said the website accelerated the identification process, and 62.5% said it helped with their professional duties.
