Intervention Method of Beginning Reading Skills in Students with Intellectual Impairment

Abstract

Intellectual disability has far-reaching social impacts for individuals with the condition. Stigmatization always shackles the minds of the wider community. One stigma that arises is to associate impairment with mastery of early reading skills. This study was developed in describing intervention methods that provide opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities to develop beginning reading skills. The method used in this study is a literature study on research that develops in Indonesia in connection with efforts to develop the initial reading skills of students with intellectual disabilities. The results obtained were found as many as 101 students with mild intellectual impairment were able to develop their initial reading skills. Furthermore, a discussion of the developed reading teaching methods can be studied in this article.
