Abstract

Tunagrahita is a developmental disorder of brain function known as mental retardation. Based on this, it is necessary to give special attention to special schools by conducting socialization and counseling on oral health through education with interactive media with the aim of impro-ving the oral health of children with tuna grahita through interactive counseling and tooth brushing demonstrations at Sekolah Luar Biasa Ne-geri 1 Pangkep, Minasatene District, Pangkep Regency. Socialization and counseling of oral health through education is carried out with in-teractive media. It was found that the level of knowledge, attitudes, actions and poor oral health behavior in 40 students of SLBN 1 Pangkep increased after interactive education, namely 38 students showed moderate results and 2 students showed good results. It was concluded that there were changes after interactive education was carried out on knowledge, attitudes, actions and behavior in children with disabilities.
