Special Schools (Sekolah Luar Biasa) play a vital role in ensuring access to education for children with special needs, including those who are deaf, blind, intellectually disabled, autistic, and those with other learning disabilities. A persistent issue to date is the lack of educational media regarding time expressions for deaf children to facilitate the teaching of Indonesian Sign Language System known as SIBI (Sistem Isyarat Bahasa Indonesia). This study aims to design educational media that are educational, effective, and efficient for introducing SIBI to deaf children at SLB-BC Bina Widya. This study employs a qualitative research method. The data used in this study consists of primary data obtained through interviews and direct observations at SLB-BC Bina Widya, as well as secondary data sourced from various print and digital literature. The design concept involves creating engaging printed educational media presented in a visual format that combines images and text related to time expressions. The main media is a “Gerak Waktu” flashcard set containing SIBI sign language for time expressions. The illustrations are in color to increase children’s interest in learning. Supporting media are included to complement the main media, such as a progress tracking board, a calendar, a wall clock, a tote bag, stickers, and a notebook. It is expected that “Gerak Waktu” flashcards will introduce SIBI sign language to deaf children. This study aims to design educational, effective, and efficient teaching materials to introduce SIBI sign language to deaf children in Special Schools, particularly regarding time expressions. It is also expected to assist and facilitate teachers in delivering SIBI sign language media regarding time expressions.
