Abstract

This research aims to develop an Android-based mobile application that acts as an identification tool for children with special needs. By using mobile technology, this application will facilitate the identification process for teachers and parents and provide clear guidelines for its use. This research method uses the R & D (Research and Development) ADDIE design, which consists of five stages, namely analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. Identification is carried out by filling in data on the application, with the dominant characteristics appearing after the data has been filled in. The identification process is based on the results of a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with special needs teachers. The application also makes it easy to identify barriers that may be experienced by children with special needs by taking into account the scores obtained for certain types of barriers. Expert validation showed that the application falls into the highly valid category, indicating its readiness to be used and implemented by users such as teachers and parents. Thus, the development of this mobile application is expected to have a positive impact in supporting inclusive education and providing better services for children with special needs.
