Abstract


This research aims to identify the behavior of children with disabilities in PAUD Lestari with a qualitative approach using case studies. Children with developmental disabilities are children with emotional and behavioral disorders that affect their social interactions and psychological development. Qualitative methods were chosen to explore in depth the phenomena that occurred, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the research show that children with disabilities in PAUD Lestari tend to experience three types of dominant behavior, namely withdrawal from social relationships, aggressive and defiant behavior, and a tendency to experience anxiety. Withdrawal from social interactions makes it difficult for children to adapt and build harmonious relationships with peers and teachers. Meanwhile, aggressive and defiant behavior appears in the form of disobedience, resistance to authority, and physical actions such as hitting or breaking things. In addition, the anxiety experienced by children with hearing impairments influences their inability to manage emotions and stress. It is hoped that these findings can become the basis for developing more appropriate intervention programs to help children with hearing impairments in PAUD to develop optimally.
