The existence of children with special needs is still need our attention. The reality that we found that many teachers do not have the knowledge to understand the condition of students, especially those with special needs who have developmental disorders. Its urgent to have early detection of children with special needs at the level of early education so that detection is done early so that proper handling can be done right from the start. In fact, there are still many PAUD teachers who have difficulty in recognizing children with special needs with various characteristics (Adnan, et al, 2012). Difficulties in early detection of children with special needs are only identified after they attend elementary school education and the problems are more complicated (Rosiana, et al, 2014). Based on this urgency, we should designing the training that can help improve the ability of teachers to early detection of children with special needs. The early detection in the context of providing appropriate educational services so as to avoid learning problems in the future (Lerner, 2008; Directorate of PSLB, 2007; Yusuf 2005). This article illustrates the study of designing training intervention that are arranged so that teachers are able to increase understanding of children with special needs, improve the ability to identify various types of child development disorders so that they are able to refer children with special needs to experts. The design of this training is expected to be applied to PAUD teachers so improve the ability to carry out the process of early detection of children with special needs.
