Abstract

The ability to read is the most basic competency to master competencies in other subjects. Learning to read which was carried out at Elementary School for Children with Special Needs (SDLB) YPAC Malang City found that one out of three  students of Cerebral Palsy in 1st class had problems with early reading. One of the causes of not optimal students' reading ability is because teachers tend to only use printed books. Appropriate and interesting media is needed so that students can have reading skills as expected. The purpose of this study is to describe the use of pabami media to improve early reading skills in students of Cerebral Palsy in the 1st class at SDLB YPAC Malang. This research is a classroom action research designed in 2 cycles, each cycle consists of 3 meetings. The learning media used is pabami which is equipped with cards of letter, syllable, and word. Data were collected by observation and test techniques. Pabami media is declared effective if the posttest results in the second cycle are higher than the posttest scores in the first cycle, with learning mastery indicators reaching a value of 75 or more. The results of the study concluded that pabami media was effective for improving early reading skills of students with cerebral palsy.

Abstract

Children with special needs will achieve good learning outcomes if educators conduct assessments.  Assessment is a process to collect information about abilities, advantages and needs that will be used as considerations and decisions related to the preparation of academic programs.  This study aims to develop a visual perception assessment product in the form of a digital book for students with intellectual disability which is expected to be able to measure the ability, difficulty and needs in aspects of the development of children's visual perception with cases of mental impairment needed as consideration in planning learning programs, especially in reading learning.  The method used in this study adapts the Research and Development method initiated by Borg & Gall. The validity of the resulting product is calculated by Aiken's V formula which compared with the table r value (0.78) obtained a material validity value of 0.95 (very valid), a media validity of 0.90 (very valid) and a system validity of 0.91(very valid). The reliability of the products developed proved to be reliable and consistent based on the Cronbach Alpha test which obtained a value of 0.744, higher than the minimum Cronbach Alpha score limit of 0.60. The implementation of the assessment by students with mental disabilities obtained a score of 96.9 percent, meaning that the product can be used very well. Based on the results of this study, the visual perception assessment in the form of interactive digital books for students with intellectual disability that have been developed is suitable for use.
