Abstract

Buttoning skills are a key component of self-care that support the development of independence in children with mild intellectual disabilities. At SLB YAPMI Rancaekek, an existing programme aimed at teaching these skills has lacked suitable learning media,resulting in continued dependence on assistance when dressing. This study aims to assess the buttoning abilities of Grade II children prior to the introduction of new materials, to examine the current instructional approach, and to describe the development of a buttoning skills programme using Quiet Book media. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and focus group discussions involving teachers as key collaborators. The findings indicate that children's buttoning abilities were initially limited. Following the integration of the Quiet Book, children showed increased focus and enthusiasm during practice sessions. The study contributes to the development of foundational self-care skills that foster greater independence among children with mild intellectual disabilities.
