Abstract: The number of children born with disabilities worldwide is on the rise, presenting significant challenges for parents and educators in managing their daily needs, particularly in terms of emotional and behavioural regulation. This study aims to fill this gap by developing and applying a module that integrates existing behavioural therapies with psychospiritual therapies for special needs students in the Integrated Special Education Program (PPKI) at Sekolah Rendah Bandar Baharu, Kuala Selangor. The development of this module involves four distinct phases. The first phase focuses on identifying the specific problems and constraints educators face in managing special needs students’ emotions and behaviors. The second phase involves the development of the module based on the identified problems and expert opinions. The third phase includes the module’s construction, evaluation, and refinement, incorporating expert feedback to ensure its effectiveness. The final phase involves the implementation and assessment of the module in a real-world educational setting. This module emphasises two primary methods of behavioural control: the use of integrated learning group techniques, which involve parents in the activities of their children, and Quranic verse therapy, which involves listening to Quranic verses to help stabilise the emotions of the children. It is anticipated that this module will provide significant support to parents and teachers in educating special needs students (MBK) according to their capacities, thereby ensuring the emotional and spiritual well-being of these special children across the country. The successful implementation of this module could serve as a model for similar initiatives globally, highlighting the importance of integrating spiritual elements into therapeutic practices.
