While the need for mainstreamed day-care services continues to increase, many barriers remain that prevent or delay providers from enrolling children with special needs. The suggestions in this article to coordinate local resources will help programs begin to provide initial necessary services to children with special needs. The use of volunteers will help supplement the staffing needs of a day-care center and allow for more individualized care of the children. Unfortunately, the absence of public funds for child day care continues to be a major barrier to creating appropriate programs for children with special needs. State and federal policies need to be expanded to support day care in general and children with special needs specifically. Part H of PL 99-457 (now Part H of IDEA PL102-119) is a national impetus to promote interagency collaboration at state and local levels. This is a beginning, but more state and federal funding is needed. In addition, regulations need to be developed that will make it easier rather than more difficult for local agencies to participate. Day-care providers and professionals in every community must work together to provide appropriate services to children with special needs. The most effective services use interdisciplinary teams to work together to plan and implement the care. Let us pick up the challenge of this mandate and develop programs that will help future generations recognize and accept the differences between individuals as well as see the similarities.

Basically, all children have the same rights to get education, including children with special needs. Teachers must be able to understand and think about what learning strategies are suitable for children with special needs, because children with special needs require special treatment in educating or teaching them. Inclusive PAUD is an educational institution intended for children with special needs, in addition to children with special needs, many students have also registered in Kasya Inclusion PAUD. This study aims to analyze the implementation of learning strategies in the Kasya Day Care Center and School Banda Aceh Inclusion PAUD, namely the “kayang” strategy, through the library research method. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the “kayang” strategy has had a huge impact on the progress and success of the Kasya Day Care Center and School Banda Aceh Inclusion PAUD.

Immunodeficiency Virus

It was hypothesized that parents and child care providers are not prepared to accept children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), who are increasing in number, into the day care center setting. To determine their knowledge and attitudes toward HIV transmission, 219 parents in 4 day care centers and 176 care providers in 12 day care centers were given confidential questionnaires. More than 98% of respondents knew that sex and needle sharing can transmit HIV; 84% of parents and 77% of care providers knew that contact with blood can transmit HIV. There was, however, uncertainty about transmission via many common contacts in day care centers: human bites, urine, stool, tears, and vomit; kissing; sharing of food and eating utensils; and diaper changing areas. Only 43% of parents said they would allow their child to stay in the same room with a child who was infected with HIV. In a multiple logistic regression model, the unwillingness of parents to have their child stay in the same room with a child who was infected with HIV was significantly (P < .0001) associated with black ethnicity, beliefs that such a child is likely to infect others (40%) and is dangerous to others (58%), and fear of their child being exposed to HIV (86%). Care providers' unwillingness to care for a child infected with HIV in the classroom (48%) was significantly (P < .0001) associated with beliefs that such a child is likely to infect others (44%) and that common day care center contacts can transmit HIV (62%). Most parents and care providers wanted to be informed if a child infected with HIV was in the classroom. A serious effort will be needed to educate parents and care providers if children who have been infected with HIV are to be accepted into the day care center setting routinely.

The aim of the study was to identify the satisfaction of parents with the reality of the rehabilitation services and programs provided by the Children's Care Center in Jerusalem for their children with special needs, and the problem of the study was identified by the main question of the study: How can I contribute to improving the reality of the services provided to children benefiting from the services of the Child Welfare Center from the point of view of mothers? To achieve these objectives, the procedural approach has been used. To achieve the objectives of the study, the study tools were identified by similar interviews organized, so the researcher conducted face-to-face interviews with a sample of seventeen mothers whose children benefited from the center's services, who in turn volunteered to participate in the current study. The results indicated that the satisfaction of these mothers, whose children benefited from the reality of rehabilitation centre services, was relatively acceptable, as they felt that there were weaknesses and deficiencies in the rehabilitation services provided to their children, as these weaknesses were reflected in three concepts: a lack of specialized competencies in the skills of dealing with children with special needs, high rehabilitation costs for children with special needs, and a lack of medical equipment and services for children with special needs. The results also indicated that the needs of these children based on the recommendations of their mothers were reflected in five basic aspects: the provision of rehabilitation services by the foundation free of charge, the need to provide escorts for their children to be integrated into public education, the need to provide educational and educational games for children and other requirements of child support devices, the need to hold training courses to raise community awareness on how to deal and accept children, and finally the need to hold training courses for parents on how to deal and accept their child in special need.
