<![CDATA[Children with special needs, especially those with autism, require appropriate educational services and psychopedagogical approaches to be able to develop their potential optimally. One very important approach is through guidance and counseling services in schools. This study aims to describe the guidance and counseling service strategy carried out by Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers in handling children with special needs who are autistic, with a focus on the approach applied. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the BK teacher's approach to children with autism is carried out through four stages of strategy, namely: identification of children's needs, individual and interactive service planning, flexible service implementation according to the child's emotional condition, and evaluation of development through activities that are in accordance with the child's abilities. Teachers also use positive reinforcement techniques, visual media, and active collaboration with parents to strengthen the effectiveness of the service. With a personal, adaptive, and collaborative approach, this guidance and counseling strategy is able to provide comprehensive support for the development of children with autism in the school environment.]]>
