9 March 2022 – A few weeks ago, a symposium about learning disability was held by the University of Derby and University of Southampton. Faculty of Psychology, University of Gadjah Mada contributed to the symposium, represented by Elga Andriana, PhD., where she utilizes the symposium as a learning enrichment for International Undergraduate students in the ‘Children and Adolescents with Special Needs’ class. The main purpose is to present students with international engagement through the international program held by the lecturers. The symposium mainly focused on the role of education in supporting social inclusion for people with learning disabilities throughout the life-span. It leads to the development of British Journal Learning Disability which heavily promotes an education for people with learning disabilities in order to help them contribute within the society. The symposium encompasses diversified subjects which complement people with learning disabilities with the pursuit of reassuring the society about the importance of education.
