The 2,300 schools for special education are not enough for the roughly 23 million Indonesians who have been diagnosed with a disability.
JAKARTA: In 2016, Indonesian mother Reshma Wijaya set up a school in central Jakarta for children with special needs.
The centre has been recognised by the education ministry as a “Sekolah Luar Biasa”, designating it as a school for special education.The institution hires professionals to conduct assessment and diagnosis for children coming in. It also initiates various programmes and therapy sessions for its students, alongside an educational curriculum.
The facility has made life easier for children with disabilities and their parents living in Jakarta, such as Ms Fenny Rusli and her daughter Kayla. The 8-year-old has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and has been with the centre for almost five years. Older children at the centre go on to have training sessions by a vocational unit to prepare them for life after graduation.
While parents of children with disabilities say that positive changes have been made in recent years within Indonesia's landscape and society with regards to awareness and acceptance, more work needs to be done. In a bid to support those who are disabled, the government recently passed a number of regulations derived from the 2016 Law on Persons with Disabilities. These regulations did not exist prior to 2019.
