Abstract
The implementation of special education for people with disabilities in Indonesia is still faced with various challenges, one of which is competence of literacy and communication for deaf. This study aims to conduct needs assessment of Indonesian language learning which can be used as criteria to produce Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based innovative learning. This study was carried out in three special elementary schools in Special Region of Yogyakarta and took three samples of deaf students in each elementary school. The research approach is a descriptive-qualitative approach comparing national curriculum for deaf students and actual competencies achieved by students. The result of this study is that deaf students at elementary school had not achieved majority competencies on curriculum. Major competencies which had not been achieved were writing ability, sentence composition, and understanding reading text information. The competencies can be used as a reference to develop technology-based interactive learning media.
