Building an Ecosystem of Support: The Role of Family, Education, and Society in Realizing the Dreams of Children with Disabilities
Abstract
This research aims to explore the role of families, educational
institutions and communities in creating an effective
ecosystem of support for children with disabilities. Using a
qualitative approach and case study method, this research
highlights the experiences and perspectives of the various
parties involved. The results show that an effective
ecosystem of support is formed through strong collaboration
between families, schools and communities. Families play an
important role in providing emotional, practical and
advocacy support. Educational institutions are expected to
be able to organize quality and accessible inclusive
education. Meanwhile, the community plays a role in
creating an inclusive environment through raising
awareness, removing stigma and providing disability-friendly
facilities. This research also identifies challenges in building
an ecosystem of support and provides practical
recommendations to improve the quality of services and
support for children with disabilities.
