JAKARTA (November 30, 2020) - Dharma Wanita Persatuan (DWP) of the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs, Grace Batubara said that full support from families for people with disabilities is very important to develop their abilities so that they can develop, be creative, and play a role in nation building.
"Families play a role in supporting the growth and development of children with disabilities. Parents must remain persistent in providing the best parenting styles and must be sure and ensure that people with disabilities are also equal to others," emphasized the wife of the Minister of Social Affairs Juliari P. Batubara in a talk show Disabilities Show Episode 1 which was broadcast live on Television of the Republic of Indonesia (TVRI) and the Youtube channel of the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs in Jakarta, Monday.
In this talk show hosted by Melaney Ricardo and Dio Hapsari, Grace said that all parties have an important role in developing the abilities of people with disabilities. At the central level, the Ministry of Social Affairs exists with the community to provide comprehensive social protection for the growth and development of children with special needs.
"They can become great with the support of all of us," she said in a talkshow held to commemorate the 2020 International Day of Persons with Disabilities (HDI).
Local governments, Grace continued, must also take part in supporting people with disabilities to have equal access. One of them is access to public services.
Grace also said that the Ministry of Social Affairs has a Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) in the form of Social Rehabilitation Centers for Persons with Disabilities in several regions in Indonesia that can be utilized by parents with disabilities. This hall is a place to restore the social functioning of persons with disabilities.

Furthermore, the Chair of HDI 2020, Anne Nurfarina who was also a guest star, said that families played a major role in building the spirit of children with disabilities. “Families have to change the way they think and start planning for their future. For example, an education plan that fits the needs of people with disabilities,” she explained.
Anne added, every human being is creative, including children with disabilities. They have the same creativity as the others. This is evident from the videos made by persons with disabilities that have been uploaded on the creativedisabilitiesgallery.com website. People with disabilities can also adapt to industry 4.0 or the digital era.
Anne, who is also the Chair of the Advisory Board for Creative Business Of Difable Community (CIDCO), told that based on her experience, every human being has sensory, motor and visual sensitivity. Interestingly, people with disabilities such as autism tend to have visual sensitivity, Down syndrome has motor sensitivity, for example, experts in the field of dance.
"It's even more interesting when the deaf can dance just by looking at the beats," she said.
At the end of the segment, Grace advised parents who have children with disabilities to stay strong and enthusiastic. “Parents must be strong and enthusiastic. We give the best for children with disabilities wherever they are," she said.
On this occasion, Grace and Anne virtually greeted people with disabilities who were members of Indonesia Rare Disorder from several regions.
The Disabilities Show Episode 1 also featured Widelya, a disabled person who has a talent for painting. In addition, there are also occupational therapy demonstrations to provide stimulation for people with disabilities to be able to carry out daily activities such as self-care, self-development and even physical exercise using assistive devices.
