Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), organized a Disability Service Enhancement Training titled “Building Competency, Strengthening Inclusivity at FEB UNS” from May 19 to 20, 2026, at the Konimex Auditorium, Bachtiar Effendi Building, FEB UNS. The event was attended by faculty members, academic support staff, and security personnel at FEB UNS, featuring Arsy Anggrellanggi, S.Pd., M.Pd., a faculty member from Special Education UNS, as the main speaker.<\/p>\n
This training is part of FEB UNS’s initiatives to strengthen inclusive education services for students with disabilities. The material delivered covered understanding the diversity of disabilities, assistance strategies for students with special needs, and basic sign language practices to support more inclusive communication within the campus environment.<\/p>\n
The Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs of FEB UNS, Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., emphasized in her opening remarks that disability services are not merely related to administrative or institutional aspects, but also involve human values and empathy. She shared her experience while studying in Australia in 2010, when students were asked to directly experience being a person with a disability. At that time, she used a wheelchair to move from one building to another on campus.<\/p>\n
“If walking normally, it might only take five minutes to arrive, but when using a wheelchair, it turns out to require much more time because one must find an accessible path. From that experience, empathy emerged that our friends with special needs require greater energy, time, and mental readiness,” she expressed.<\/p>\n
According to Prof. Tri, this experience built an awareness to be more sensitive toward the needs of individuals with disabilities. She emphasized that the increasing number of students with special needs at UNS demands that the entire academic community understand proper and disability-friendly service models. “The main principle is how we provide better services for our friends who have limitations in mobility or communication. If this later results in an increase in our inclusivity ranking, that is a bonus,” she explained.
<\/p>\n
She also noted that understanding disability services is important as preparation for social life in the future. According to her, every individual will eventually experience a decline in bodily functions as they age, making awareness of accessibility and inclusive services a shared need.<\/p>\n
During the training, participants received instruction on assisting students with visual impairments, hearing impairments, physical disabilities, slow learners, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder, alongside learning adaptation strategies tailored to student needs. Additionally, participants were introduced to the principles of inclusive communication and the use of simple sign language in both academic and non-academic services.<\/p>\n
Through this activity, FEB UNS hopefully enables all service elements within the faculty environment to build a campus culture that is increasingly inclusive, friendly, and responsive to the needs of students with disabilities. This initiative aligns with supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 regarding Quality Education and Goal 10 regarding Reduced Inequalities through the strengthening of inclusive education services for all groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
