Pendampingan Sensorik Taktil Modifikasi Busana Adaptif Bagi Anak Cerebral Palsy Di Yayasan Pejuang

Abstract

This community service activity aims to provide tactile sensory motor accompaniment and evaluate psychosocial responsiveness in children with cerebral palsy by exploring adaptive textile structures during the commemoration of National Cerebral Palsy Day. The activity was held on October 29, 2025, at the Yayasan Pejuang Cerebral Palsy, involving 59 children, along with lecturers and students from the Vocational Fashion Design Education Study Program of STKIP Pangeran Antasari. The methodology employed was Participatory Action Research (PAR) combined with Experiential Learning, focusing on structured sensory-friendly material delivery, creative hand-print design canvassing, and inclusive dynamic movements. Data collection instruments involved structured observation logs and qualitative caregiver review questionnaires. The results demonstrated that strategic exposure to variable fabric textures (velvet, corduroy, wool) significantly stimulated fine motor adjustments in hypotonic cases and provided tactile soothing for spastic symptoms, yielding a 95% total partner approval and satisfaction rate. In conclusion, active integration of vocational design knowledge within community rehabilitation effectively improves social inclusion and sensory motor capabilities among children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
