Definition of  Planning Matrix

The special needs service program is based on direct summary assessment results. This is not wrong, but the material used as the basis for the preparation of the program is still in the form of summaries of the results of the assessment that has been carried out.

Planning matrix is a mapping description of the condition of students with special needs individually that describes the actual conditions of its characteristic barriers, impacts, service strategies and media needed in the intervention.
