Kontribusi Layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling dalam Implementasi Pendidikan Inklusif di Lembaga PAUD

Abstract

This study aims to examine the contribution of guidance and counseling services in supporting the implementation of inclusive education in early childhood education institutions. Using a literature review method, the study explores various relevant counseling approaches and services, such as individual, group, behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and reality-based approaches. The findings indicate that guidance and counseling play a crucial role in helping children with special needs recognize their potential, adjust socially, and develop life skills. Additionally, services such as orientation, information, classroom guidance, group guidance, consultation, data collection, and referral contribute significantly to creating an inclusive and adaptive learning environment. The study concludes that guidance and counseling services make a meaningful contribution to inclusive, child-friendly education.
