Grindle implementation model theory consisting of two variables which determined the success of a policy. The first indicator was the content of the policy and the second indicator was the environment where the policy was implemented. The findings in the field showed the lack of collaborative management in the Implementation. This was seen in the appropriateness and comprehension of the implementers who were experiencing some constraints like the limited funds, resources, and some public places that did not put any children's interests into priority or educational facilities for children with special needs which were still far from satisfactory.
