Disaster Mitigation for Students with Intellectual Disabilities

Abstract

Children with intellectual disabilities in Batu still find it difficult to understand the disaster mitigation process. In fact, in Batu itself, natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and tornadoes often occur. Teachers and parents of individuals with intellectual disabilities are the closest people who also experience difficulties when a disaster occurs, especially in the process of education and disaster evacuation. The purpose of this study is to increase understanding of emergency evacuation and early warning of natural disasters for children with intellectual disabilities among parents, teachers, and BPBD using psychoeducation and focus group discussion (FGD) methods. This research was attended by foure people from BPBD Kota Batu, seven teachers from SLBN 1 Kota Batu, and six parents of children with intellectual disabilities. The results of the study showed an increase in parents’ and teachers’ understanding of disaster mitigation. This increased understanding made the subject carry out a process of simulating disaster evacuation activities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
