Abstract

This study used descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was done by interview, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques were carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the success of educational management applied to mentally retarded children cannot be separated from the existence of a good management process, namely from the planning process, organizing process, implementation process, and control process. The supporting factors for implementing such management include local government support, an adequate organizational structure, and the ability of teachers and parental support. While the inhibiting factors from the application of such management are the condition of mentally retarded students who have different characteristics, the location of the school is far from public roads, and the entry of students with different disabilities from other mentally retarded students
