Abstract
Special needs children are children with characteristics that are different from disability in general without showing mental, emotional, or physical abilities. Special needs children find it difficult to define categories in understanding lessons and most of the views of the community state that children with special needs are considered as disabled children who cannot do anything. Especially in terms of academic achievement from language, mathematics and science. This can show that children with special needs cannot distinguish numbers properly so that errors occur in the calculation process. Even though mathematics is very necessary to apply it to daily life personally that develops society. Developing the ability to understand numbers, each student is given the opportunity to answer a different one to explain and the approach used is Open Ended. The teaching aids used are in the form of mathematics learning media created on Microsoft Excel based on VBA. VBA language functions so that images are more interesting and interactive so student learning independence and Self Efficacy learning outcomes are achieved.
