Abstract

Physical impairment is a condition of someone who is physically imperfect like humans in general. The lack of limbs experienced by disabled teenagers will cause them to think negatively about themselves, feel embarrassed and lack self-confidence, thus limiting interactions and withdrawing from their environment, even to the point of having serious effects in the form of depression and negative psychological impacts for people with disabilities. Based on data from BAPPEDA Yogyakarta regarding problems with social welfare and social facilities, the number of physically disabled people from 2020, 2021, to 2022 continues to increase, in 2020 there were 6,488 people, in 2021 the number was 7,630 and in 2022 it reached 8,121 people. Due to the complexity of the problems faced by disabled people, psychological guidance is one of the therapies that can be provided to help disabled teenagers in the recovery process to live in balance with their friends and environment by providing enthusiasm to hone their potential, and assisting in formation of self-concept. As time goes by, providing guidance to people with disabilities produces results in feeling comfortable, enthusiastic about accepting shortcomings and developing the potential of each individual.
