This is a quantitative research. Questionnaires were distributed to 210 inclusive and SD/MI teachers and 35 parents of children with special needs. Focus group discussions were conducted with teachers and principals in 12 /SD/MI in Jakarta, Depok and Tangerang. The results showed that 84% of teachers did not conduct a comprehensive assessment related to ABK acceptance, 85% did not have special meetings with parents of children with special needs, 84% stated that there were many obstacles in making early detection, and 79% stated they did not have knowledge and skills regarding children with special needs.
