Abstract

Disabled people with different disabilities are one of the categories that are sensitive to COVID-19 infection. In dealing with COVID-19 and for people with disabilities, prevention policies have been issued by the government. Because of its limits, the regulation must be properly implemented, since disabled individuals need helpers to do their activities. Education on health practices is therefore highly crucial for people with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to outline the strategy of local governments to educate health protocols for individuals with mental disabilities through the strengthening of Ponorogo’s social NGOs. The results of the study reveal that local authorities, including persons with disabilities, have a significant role to play in lobbying for community health protocols. Health protocol education for people with disabilities can be conducted inter alia by (a) involving a sign language speaker; (b) develop guidelines for the implementation of inclusive communication and information provision, and (c) create a service guide for the online class. The education of the health protocol is direct or indirect. The participation of social non- governmental organizations is one of the health protocol education tactics in Ponorogo Regency for disabled people. Rumah Harapan Karangpatihan Community is one of the NGOs directly active in the education of disabled persons on health protocols in their village. Education for families with disabilities remains informative. In order to limit direct interaction, Rumah Harapan activists often co-ordinate social support from outside parties. Unfortunately, the optimization of the protocol health education process for persons with disabilities is not coordinated well between Rumah Harapan and related authorities in Ponorogo Regency. It is nevertheless obvious that people with impairments in their daily activities have not followed the health protocol.
