Observations were conducted to identify unique and noteworthy phenomena that could serve as the focus of the study. The findings indicate that the implementation of life skills education management at Karya Insani Special School is reflected in the development of high-quality students. This is achieved through effective and efficient steps in managing, organizing, designing, and empowering existing potentials to fulfill responsibilities, guided by the core functions of management: planning, organizing, actuating, controlling, and evaluating. Furthermore, the application of life skills education management at the school enhances student satisfaction through the development of strategic work plans aimed at improving students’ skills, effective administrative management, and fostering students’ motivation to learn life skills. The ultimate goal is to prepare students to adapt to society and pursue livelihoods in accordance with their individual potentials.
