PENERAPAN PANDUAN IDENTIFIKASI DAN PENANGANAN ABK UNTUK ORANGTUA DI LEMBAGA LENTERA FAJAR SIDOARJO

Introduction

Penerapan panduan identifikasi dan penanganan abk untuk orangtua di lembaga lentera fajar sidoarjo. Pelatihan dan panduan bagi orang tua di Sidoarjo untuk identifikasi & penanganan anak berkebutuhan khusus (ABK), disabilitas intelektual, & autisme demi masa depan cerah.

Abstract

Prevalensi disabilitas intelektual (IQ<70) diperkirakan sekitar 3% di seluruh dunia. Jumlah penyandang autisme juga disinyalir meningkat terus di Indonesia, dengan tambahan 500 anak pengidap autis tiap tahun. Insiden disabilitas intelektual dan autisme sulit dihitung karena disabilitas intelektual ringan kadang-kadang tidak dikenali hingga masa kanak-kanak pertengahan. Ironisnya penanganan pada anak disabilitas intelektual dan autisme sejauh ini belum dilakukan secara holistic dan komprehensif, sehingga hal ini membuat potensi menghambat terjadinya pola penanganan yang tepat serta memiliki potensi untuk menjauhkan anak dengan disabilitas dari kehidupan dan masa depan yang lebih cerah serta independent. Sebagai bentuk penanganan yang komprehensif, perlu dilakukan pola pendampingan yang holistic dan melibatkan semua elemen termasuk juga orang tua dengan memberikan buku panduan dalam mengidentifikasi dan menangani anak berkebutuhan khusus disabilitas intelektual dan autisme. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah dengan pelatihan identifikasi permasalahan dan penanganan anak berkebutuhan khusus di lembaga mitra bersama dengan orangtua ABK.

Review

The submitted title and abstract, "PENERAPAN PANDUAN IDENTIFIKASI DAN PENANGANAN ABK UNTUK ORANGTUA DI LEMBAGA LENTERA FAJAR SIDOARJO," address a highly relevant and pressing issue within public health and special education. The abstract effectively highlights the significant global and national prevalence of intellectual disability and autism, emphasizing the critical gap in holistic and comprehensive care that often impedes the full potential and independence of affected children. The identified problem – the lack of proper, early, and sustained intervention, coupled with the crucial role of parental involvement – underscores the timely nature and societal importance of this community service initiative. The stated aim to empower parents through a specialized guide for identification and handling of children with special needs (ABK) is a commendable approach to bridge this gap. The proposed methodology, centered on community engagement through training at a partner institution involving parents of children with special needs, appears practical and directly aligned with the stated objectives. The focus on providing a "buku panduan" (guidebook) for identification and handling is a concrete output that could significantly benefit caregivers. While the abstract outlines the *what* (training and guide), further details in the full paper regarding the *how* would be valuable. Specifically, clarification on the development process and content validation of the guide, the specific modules or topics covered in the parental training, and the duration/frequency of these sessions would enhance understanding of the intervention's robustness. Overall, this initiative represents a valuable contribution to improving the quality of life and future prospects for children with intellectual disabilities and autism by directly engaging their primary caregivers. The emphasis on empowering parents with practical tools is a strong point. For the complete paper, it would be beneficial to include a more detailed description of the guide's content, specific learning outcomes for the parents, and, crucially, a plan for evaluating the impact and effectiveness of both the training and the guide on parental knowledge, attitudes, and actual care practices. Reporting on any initial outcomes or anecdotal feedback would greatly strengthen the work, demonstrating the tangible benefits of this well-intentioned community service project.
