This study explores the implementation of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) for Children with Special Needs (ABK) at Alam Bogor School. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the IEP, also called PPI at Alam Bogor School, is based on four pillars and one aspect of self-development. An inclusion facilitator develops the program. The steps involved in preparing the IEP include collecting student data from teachers, discussing with parents, observing students during lessons, reviewing the results from psychologists and physiotherapists, designing learning plans, and providing reports to parents. The IEP supports the holistic development of children with special needs through flexible teaching methods and strong support from the school community. This study offers practical insights for educational institutions on implementing nature-based IEPs, focusing on identifying and fostering the potential interests and talents of children with special needs. The research contributes to understanding the effective strategies that can be employed in inclusive education settings to support the diverse needs of students.
