Assistive Technology for Inclusive Education: Evidence from Indonesia

Abstract

Now, students with special needs educate in an inclusive environment that is more feasible than before. Unfortunately, many teachers complain that they are not ready to work with these students. This complaint is clearly a problem because the teacher is related to student learning outcomes. Web-based technology offers a solution to this problem, but not all web-based resources are reliable. Percik Insani Therapist Education Center, a community of parents of children with special needs, provides free online resources for those who work with students with special needs. This resource was developed to work with researchers and improve education, and is widely used to improve the quality of teacher education. With this, it is hoped that the change of motion and mindset of educators is expected in seeing students with special needs.
