Children with special needs require special treatment because they have developmental disorders and others disorders from children in general (Desiningrum, 2016). In 2015, Indonesia had approximately 4.2 million ABK. Baska and Stambaugh (in Juwono and Kumara, 2011) state that education services in Indonesia are still experiencing difficulties due to the lack of knowledge of teachers about ABK. Sunardi, Yusuf, Gunarhadi, Priyono, and Yeager (2011) state that in Indonesia, almost no changes have been made to accommodate the education program for children with special needs in inclusive schools; there is no difference in teaching strategies for children with special needs (Kurniawati, De Boer, Minnaert, and Mangunsong, 2017; Mangungsong 2014).
