This shows that the lack of implementation of inclusive education and the lack of counsellor strategies in introducing Children with Special Needs to normal students. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which students know about Inclusive Education and Children with Special Needs, to determine the behaviours of children with special needs and the lack of acceptance of the presence of children with special needs and lack of attention. This research method uses quantitative methods by distributing google forms in the form of pre-test and post-test about knowledge and understanding of the handling and implementation of children with special needs in the school environment. The results of this study, the literacy program to recognize children with special needs experienced significant changes. From these results obtained differences in the results of the pre-test and post-test. This is because students before and after literacy activities get interesting readings so that there are differences in helping the adjustment of children with special needs in the school environment.
