Abstract
In the school setting, intervention for children with special educational needs typically focuses on reading, writing, and counting skills, with less attention paid to the aspects of emotional regulation. Emotional regulation and management skills are essential for students with special education needs . This article, therefore, aims to identify and discuss the need for exposure and the development of an emotional regulation teaching method, that utilizes batik art therapy as a pedagogical strategy. For a need’s assessment, an open-ended survey was conducted with 35 special education teachers identified using the purposeful sampling technique. The research used thematic analysis, which showed the need to develop emotional regulation teaching methods and a strong teachers’ interest in attending formal emotional regulation training programs. At the same time, the relevance of batik art therapy as a teaching method for emotional regulation was strongly supported by the special education teachers involved. The research findings pointed to the need to develop an emotional regulation teaching method using the batik art therapy approach.
