Abstract: This study aims to describe public understanding regarding special education institutions in Tuban Regency. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study involved participants comprising teachers and members of the general public. Data were collected through interviews and documentation. The findings reveal both positive and negative perspectives regarding special education institutions; positive views indicate an understanding of these institutions, whereas negative views reflect a lack of understanding. Factors influencing public understanding include education levels, access to information, experience interacting with children with special needs, and outreach efforts conducted by the schools. Therefore, more intensive efforts regarding public education and outreach are required to foster an environment that is more inclusive and supportive of the development of students with special needs.
