Data collection techniques used in this research are participant observation, semi-structured interviews and documentation in the form of lesson plans and the results of learning scores. Based on the research results, the implementation of PPKn learning begins with making a learning implementation plan which is the same as between ABK and regular students, but in the implementation of learning for regular students it is adjusted to the RPP and for ABK modifications are made to the RPP according to their needs. In the implementation of learning the teacher also manages the class to make it easier for children with special needs to receive the stimulus provided by the teacher. The teacher provides an understanding of defending the country by interpreting the national anthem, delivering repeated material and demonstrations, delivering material in verbal and non-verbal languages, optimizing the understanding of defending the country with image media, and implementing school rules as a form of love for the homeland.Kata Kunci: National Defense, Children in Need Special (CNS), Inclusive School.]]>
