Computer laboratory is an important facility that must be owned by vocational high schools to support the teaching and learning process, especially on practical lessons. Some practical assignments require students to operate computers in order to complete assignments and search various sources of information from the internet. The aim of this study was to determine the availability of computer laboratory facilities and the design of computer laboratories available at vocational high schools. Data collection uses observations and interviews. Researcher interviewed several teachers in vocational high schools to explore information on the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure in schools for people with physical disabilities especially in computer laboratories. Researcher also interviewed two special school teachers to explore information about the needs for facilities and infrastructure for people with physical disabilities, their experiences when observing and activating with students with disabilities. The results of this study indicate the unavailability of infrastructure facilities that are friendly for people with disabilities especially computer laboratories in vocational high schools. The conclusion of this study recommends that schools make improvements and additions to facilities that support students with disabilities, especially those with physical disabilities, so that they are able to carry out activities like normal students when accessing facilities and infrastructure at school.
