Empowering Diverse Learners: Tailored Guidance and Counseling in Inclusive Education
Abstract
Inclusive education is an educational approach that treats all students equally, regardless of whether they have typical abilities or unique needs in areas such as language, socialization, intellect, emotions, or physical abilities. Furthermore, it extends support to students facing challenges in attending regular schools due to financial constraints, natural disasters, or belonging to indigenous communities, spanning from elementary to senior high school levels. To cater to the diverse needs of students, primary schools implementing inclusive education must adapt their curricula, facilities, infrastructure, and teaching methodologies accordingly. Additionally, personalized guidance and counseling programs tailored to individual requirements play a pivotal role in optimizing inclusive education. This study employs a qualitative methodology, incorporating techniques from literature reviews. The findings underscore the objective of guidance and counseling services in inclusive schools: to nurture life skills and personal development, enabling children to actively engage in their communities without imposing burdens on their families or the wider society. Typically, these programs follow four main stages: planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of outcomes.
