INTRODUCTION  

Education services are very important for all children including children with special 

needs. The knowledge given to children with special needs is not only knowledge in 

the academic field such as writing, counting, and reading 1. Knowledge in non-

academic fields such as life skills in the community is needed, including skills to care for 

themselves, take care of themselves, help themselves, communicate, socialize, work assignments 

and sex education. Children with special needs as part of the community must comply with 

applicable rules in order to be accepted in the community.       One of them is sex 

education, sex education is the provision of information about the changes that occur in 

individuals that are related to human anatomy, sexual organs, psychological as well as forming 

attitudes and beliefs about sex knowledge 2. Puberty is a time of change from childhood to 

adolescence. Upon entering this period, physical development takes place quickly when sexual 

reproduction first occurs. The acceleration of growth in puberty children has a big influence on

children's emotional and social development. In relation to social attitudes, a person in puberty 

will develop relationships to get to know more people and be more interested in getting to know 

the opposite sex. 

The development of puberty is experienced by every child including children with special 

needs. Children with special needs are divided into several classifications, namely blind, deaf, 

mental retardation, physical impairment, physical impairment, and autism. One of them is mental 

retardation, mental retardation is a child who experiences intellectual disabilities far below 

average and mentally retarded so that difficulties in carrying out academic, communication and 

social fields that require special treatment3 . Developmental impairment has several 

classifications including mild mental retardation, moderate mental retardation, and severe mental 

retardation. Mild Developmental Disabilities are those who have a level of intelligence IQ of 55-

70, or those who are still able to thrive in academic, social and working capabilities. Mildly 

retarded children also experience puberty like normal children in general. Because intellectual 

limitations they experience have an impact on the inability to respond to changes that occur in 

physical, emotional and social in accordance with the norms and ethics that should be. This 

change has an impact bad for children if not immediately addressed by parents, schools and the 

community. The role of parents is very important in providing explanations and understanding 

to children about sex education to avoid sexual deviations, especially for mildly retarded children 

who experience intellectual limitations. With their intellectual limitations, sometimes they make 

deviations, such as masturbating in public / open places, holding their own / opposite sex tools, 

embracing the opposite sex, kissing the opposite sex in public places, negligence in maintaining 

the secrecy of the body such as sitting position carelessly, unnatural clothing ( torn, not 

buttoned) so that it triggers the opposite sex to do things that are not natural. 

Based on preliminary studies conducted at SLB discourse Padang Asih that there are 

some sexual behavior deviations that occur in grade VII students. Deviations that occur such as 

students who deliberately hold intimate parts and organs of the opposite sex that should not be 

touched. Apart from that, there are some of the students who carry out masturbation activities 

even though it is conducted in a closed place. Sex education in this school has been given to 

students but has not been maximized. In learning activities teachers experience problems with 

the lack of learning media used. The curriculum that the teacher uses is the 2013 curriculum. 

Material on sex education is provided on various subjects such as Natural 

Sciences, Education   Islamic Religion, and special self-development programs. In self-

development learning about sex education the teacher teaches materials about sex education 

such as, how to maintain personal hygiene, sexual problems, and knowledge about sexual 

organs. The provision of subject matter to students is influenced by the media, methods and 

learning models used by teachers. In the learning process, the teacher usually uses the lecture 

method and picture media, so students do not fully understand the learning 

material presented, which is caused by the lack of student attention and interest in learning 

activities.   

Given these problems, we need a media that can attract students' interest and attention so 

that the learning material delivered can be understood and understood by students. Media which 

is expected to increase the interest and attention of students of them is
