Abstract

Indonesia is currently facing a serious problems of waste management, it will generate 31,950,444.04 tons of waste in 2023 and students’ behavior plays a key role to behave environmentally friendly. This study examines the composter as an assistive technology to promote environmentally friendly behavior (EFB) students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Method used was an ethnographic case study design with semi-structured interviews and direct observation of the composting process. The results showed that the composter is used as an assistive technology for teaching agricultural vocational subjects in students with ASD to promote anti-littering behavior and foster the discipline of waste sorting. It also helps to reduce waste generation and pollution in schools. The conclusion is that the composter as an assistive technology for students with ASD, can be useful in implementing environmental education to prevent environmental damage caused by habituation to EFBs. The implication of the study can be used to improve the pro-environmentally behavior of students with disabilities and encourage them to adopt sustainable waste management by balancing social, environmentally, and economically issues.
