Development of Digital Briive (Brilliant Cognitive Instrument) as A Website- Based Cognitive Evaluation Tool for Children with Intellectual Disabilities
The development of cognitive assessment for children with intellectual disabilities still faces limitations in terms of adaptability, efficiency, and utilization of digital technology. This study aims to develop Digital BRIIVE (Brilian Instrument Cognitive) as a website-based cognitive evaluation tool specifically designed to facilitate the assessment of basic thinking skills of students with intellectual disabilities. This development uses a Design-Based Research (DBR) model that includes the stages of needs analysis, system design, expert validation, design revision, and limited trials. This instrument measures aspects of cognitive development such as attention, working memory, and simple reasoning with the support of interactive visual and audio displays. The validation process was carried out by two validators, namely an expert in Special Education and a practicing teacher of Special Needs Education (SLB), covering aspects of appearance, content, language, and ease of use. The validation results showed an average score of 88% with a category of "very adequate". Revisions were made based on validator input, especially on simplifying the instruction language and increasing visual contrast. The limited trial involved five fourth-grade students with intellectual disabilities at Special Needs Education (SLB) C Autism Special Needs School in Kedungkandang, Malang. The results showed that students responded positively to the use of Digital BRIIVE, with increased motivation and ability to complete tests independently. Teachers also positively assessed the system's efficiency and ease of automatically displaying assessment results. Conceptually, Digital BRIIVE applies the principles of Universal Design for Learning and Dynamic Assessment, enabling adaptive and continuous assessment. The three-tier architecture system used ensures data stability and the security of the evaluation process. These findings indicate that Digital BRIIVE is feasible and effective as a technology-based cognitive assessment tool that is suited to the characteristics of children with special needs. The implications of this research strengthen the direction of digital transformation of special education assessment in Indonesia and open opportunities for the development of artificial intelligence-based instruments for more personalized and predictive evaluation in the future.

The Role Of Special Needs Children's Companions in Supporting Learning Through the Action Mapping Program in Inclusive Elementary Schools in Surakarta City
This study explores the role of companions of children with specific special needs, such as autism, ADHD, or physical disabilities, in supporting learning in inclusive elementary schools in Surakarta City. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The study subjects included students accompanying children with these specific special needs who participated in the internship program for students accompanying children with special needs in inclusive schools (MAPING-AKSI) in Surakarta City. The study results show that companions for children with special needs are crucial in supporting the learning process. Companions mediate between teachers and students and provide emotional support, such as comforting a child during a meltdown, and motivation, such as encouraging a child to participate in class activities, to children with special needs. In addition, companions also help in the preparation and implementation of individual learning programs that are tailored to the needs of each child. Challenges include a lack of special training, a high workload, and less-than-optimal coordination with teachers and parents. This study concludes that to improve the effectiveness of inclusive learning, more excellent support is needed from schools and the government in the form of regular training for assistants, provision of adequate resources, and strengthening cooperation between assistants, teachers, and parents. The practical implications of this study are the importance of developing training programs and policies that support the role of assistants for children with special needs in inclusive schools.

This data was further analyzed using the sign test (ZH) with a one-tailed Z-table value of 1.96 at a 5% significance level. The computed Z-value was ZH = 2.20, which is greater than the critical Z-table value of 1.96. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant impact of the glass analysis method on the initial reading abilities of children with reading difficulties. The result, with ZH = 2.20 > Z-table value of 1.96, leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha).

Exploring the laboratory-based learning model to improve students' outcomes on Learning for Autism course
Many courses in higher education require real practice so that students can master the expected skills. Practice through lab-based learning is one that is recommended. The aim of this research is to determine the impact of laboratory-based learning on learning in autism learning courses. This research applies a quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental research design with a one group pre-test post-test design. The research involved twenty-five students taking part in laboratory learning over four meetings. The learning impact is measured from the pre-test and post-test scores which are analyzed non-parametrically using the Wilcoxon Test and a perception questionnaire regarding laboratory-based learning. The Wilcoxon test results show differences in the pre-test and post-test results. This indicates that laboratory-based learning has an impact on student learning outcomes. Furthermore, the results of the questionnaire analysis showed that students enjoyed learning in the laboratory and the majority felt that learning in the laboratory was useful, even though it required longer preparation. The results of this research can be a basis for developing laboratory-based learning models in other courses.

The Effect of the Fishing Get Game in Improving Concentration Ability in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)
This study aims to examine the effect of the Fishing Get game on the concentration abilities of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). The type of research used is quantitative research with an experimental approach in the form of Single Subject Research (SSR). The research design used is A-B-A. The sample of this study was one child with ADHD from class A1 at Aisyiyah Pancor Kindergarten in the 2023/2024 academic year. Data collection techniques were observation and documentation, and data analysis in this study was descriptive statistics, in which the data were described as a whole. The results showed that the Fishing Get game affected the concentration abilities of children with ADHD after they had been provided with an intervention through the application of the Fishing Get game. An increase can be seen in the frequency of concentration behavior acquired by children, where in the baseline-1 phase (A1) of 30, the intervention phase (B) of 70, and the baseline-2 phase (A2) of 80, the frequency of concentration behavior acquired by children. Thus, the Fishing Get game can improve concentration abilities in children with ADHD. It can be assumed that the Fishing Get game affects the concentration abilities of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) class A1 TK Aisyiyah Pancor in the 2023/2024 Academic Year.
