Abstract

Children with disabilities have limitations, such as physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, or some combination of these limitations. Even though they have limitations, children with special needs need learning media which can provide a fun learning atmosphere. However, much is still under-explored about the challenges and problems faced by the educational institutions with special needs (SLB) in Indonesia. Hence, this study aims to identify the challenges and problems of SLB in the Cicalengka region. The method used in this study was descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the forms of (1) observation, (2) interviews, and (3) documentation. The results of this study revealed that the challenges and problems of the SLB in managing the students include the curriculum which needed adjustment to the student needs, and the boredom the students felt due to their special needs conditions as they need customised learning experiences. Furthermore, another problem identified was the lack of learning facilities for blind children, particularly for playing while learning which causes less variation in the learning media. Consequently, they did not have a chance to develop and express themselves. Thus, further efforts were needed to reduce stress in children through suitable learning media.
