Abstract

This qualitative descriptive case study investigates inclusive education management strategies and adaptive learning ecosystems at SD Budi Mulia Dua, Sleman Regency, offering a replicable managerial blueprint. Conducted from December 2025 to February 2026, the research examined core managerial dimensions planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up for children with special needs. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis involving a school principal, special educators, psychologists, parents, and students. The findings reveal that systematic multi-source needs identification, curriculum adaptation, holistic assessment, and data-driven follow-ups successfully orchestrate an inclusive environment, effectively bridging policy idealism with grassroots classroom implementation.
