This study aims to explore the implementation of education for Children with Special Needs (CSN) diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The research was conducted at Cibalung 02 Public Elementary School located in Bogor. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews and observations. Autism is a developmental disorder that is quite concerning, with symptoms appearing before the child reaches the age of three. This developmental disorder includes impairments in reciprocal social interaction, communication difficulties, the presence of stereotyped behaviors, as well as limited interests and activities. Autism is caused by severe neurobiological disorders that affect brain function, making it difficult for children to interact and communicate effectively with the outside world. The findings of the study reveal that the Grade 3 student with special needs at SDN Cibalung 02 experiences difficulties in socializing, has challenges in both verbal and written communication, limited kinesthetic abilities, and the provision of education is not running optimally due to the lack of facilities and infrastructure at the school.
