learning disability. Then, they are difficult to socialize and rejected by their friends Farmer kin, 1996; Nabasoku Smith, 1993 on Pavri Lutfig, 2000. Lackaye and
Margalit 2006 found that children with learning disability feel lonely and bad emotion. The feeling can be developed to depression Magg Reid, 2006 and tendency to
commit suicide. When teacher give a bad example to neglect student with learning disability, another students will imitate the teacher’s attitude. Favazza et al. 2000
explained that the rejection towards children with learning disabilities happens in unsupported places to do rejection. Kim 2011 clarified that the existence of teachers is
important to make a better situation that can encourage children with learning disabilities to interact with another children.
Third , the main focus of the research is the existence of teachers as the main actor
to establish situation of the class. Teachers expected to accept the children with learning disabilities and to develop strategy which is suitable for children needs. It will be the
foundation of developing model of learning accommodation and modification. The model aims to educate teachers how to treat student with specific learning disability
without being unaware with another students. Handling model of children with learning disability based on learning modification
compiled in previous research needs to perfect because it focused only on general children with learning disability. Hopefully, this research can perfect previous research
by focused on children with specific learning disability. It will be a guide-book which contains various alternatives to accommodate and modify the learning activity with clear
applying steps.
C. POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTION OF RESEARCHER
Researcher team consists of researchers specialized in several studies that are: Inclusive Learning Sari Rudiyati, Slow Learner Teaching and Intellectual Disability
Mumpuniarti and Study of Children with Specific Learning Difficulty Pujaningsih. The problem of national regulation and technical guidance which uninvolved the topic of
children with learning disabilities should be solved. It needs the contribution of universities to support government’s policy about inclusive learning. The research will
reveal facts such as the existence of children with learning disabilities and the need of knowledge and skill by the teachers explicitly. The difficulty faced by researchers is
children with learning disabilities are difficult to recognize; the existence and the needs.

Then, there are some similarities between children with learning disabilities with slow learner so an accurate selection through reliable instruments is needed.
D. CORPORATION RESEARCH RECORD
The Importance of Research Involved Overseas Researcher.
In this year the year of the submission of this proposal, it have been agreed to do a research corporate with research team from Thailand headed by Dr. Ratchaneekorn
Tongsookdee. The target of the research is mapping the existence of children with learning disabilities at inclusive school and the teacher’s needs concerned about
knowledge, acceptance, and skill on teaching. This research is expected to product a guide-book which will be tested in year 2015-2016 to see the effectiveness of the book
towards teachers knowledge, acceptance, and skill and children with learning disabilities the easy of assessment and the academic and social impact of learning
accommodation and modification. The partnership with Chiang Mai University gives some advantages that are: 1 In Thailand, the regulation of children with learning
disabilities is formally registered in Thailand’s policy. This condition will make the researchers easy to examine the children as the object of the research. 2 The existence of
formal instrument to diagnose children with learning disabilities in Chiang Mai University is an important part on sharing knowledge and experiences by the researcher.
3 The same challenge faced by Indonesia and Thailand on raising the quality of teachers
needs tested in-service training so the guide-book will be more useful.
