Hello, my name is Icha
I work at the YAKKUM (Yayasan Kristen untuk Kesehatan Umum/Christian Foundation for Public Health) Rehabilitation Center
in Yogyakarta
YAKKUM Rehabilitation Center is
A social institution
Who is engaged in disability
In essence, we hold
Some activities agenda
And also trainings
So that children with disabilities can be independent
in economically
and in doing daily living activities
For me,
at the YAKKUM Rehabilitation Center
focus on education of children with disabilities
We currently accommodate children
with cerebral palsy
Many of which are still rejected in SLBs/Sekolah Luar Biasa (School for disabilities people)
for various reasons, so
Besides we provide education
For children with cerebral palsy
We are also fighting for it
Establishment of inclusive schools
In Yogyakarta
Because remembering the Law about
This inclusive education is very clear
But in reality
The implementation of inclusive education is still
very less
Where there are still many schools
Who rejects this child with disability
for various reasons
then, besides the teachers
in the inclusive school
also still very dependent
with special education teachers
So, our focus is
How to set up
teachers in public schools
to no longer depend on
special educators
and can provide services
That is adequate for ABK who attend there
My hope in the future
So that the community cares more
against children with disabilities
That children with disabilities
Can also be empowered
like children in general
They only need to be given a chance
So that they can develop
their potentials
then also for the government
I hope for the future
the government does not only produce laws
about inclusive education
but it also increases the capacity of teachers
How can they run
inclusion education itself
Thank you
