Limitations in following social norms, building peer interactions, and regulating emotions require professional support, particularly from school counselors. This study aims to explore the meaning of counselor support in enhancing the social adaptation of CSN at TK Islam Al Manar, Jambi City. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data obtained through in-depth interviews, structured observations, and documentation involving two children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), one school counselor, and two classroom teachers. The findings reveal that counselor support has a substantial contribution to improving children’s social adaptation, reflected in: (1) better comprehension of school social rules, (2) increased self-confidence and comfort in school activities, (3) enhanced communication and peer interaction skills, and (4) reduced social withdrawal and tantrum behaviors. These results confirm the crucial role of school counselors in ensuring the success of inclusive education implementation through intensive guidance and continuous collaboration with teachers and parents.</p> Nuraida Rani Astria Mila Novi Amanda Putri Riski Andela Maryana Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Manajemen dan Pendidikan 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 1 1 10 https://jurnal.iaima.ac.id/ulinnuha/article/view/160 <p><em>This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of school financial management through an accounting management approach in Jambi City. The primary focus of this research is the utilization of School Operational Assistance (BOS) funds, which reflects the principles of transparency, accountability, and efficiency. A mixed-methods research design with a descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis in several elementary and secondary schools. The findings indicate that most schools have implemented accounting principles in their financial management. However, weaknesses remain in budget planning and the use of information technology. Limited human resources and the lack of training are also identified as major challenges. This study recommends strengthening human resource capacity, optimizing the use of digital financial information systems, and enhancing supervision by local governments to achieve more effective and efficient school financial management. </em></p> Isnaini Safira Zahara Damayanti Nadia Ulviani Intan Purnama Sari Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Manajemen dan Pendidikan 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 1 11 18
