This research aimed to analyze the implementation process of character guidance and its contribution to the development of independence among children with intellectual disabilities at SLB Negeri 2 Yogyakarta. Character guidance was implemented as a strategic effort by the school to cultivate positive habits through a continuous and structured process. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of Islamic Religious Education teachers, classroom teachers, and children with intellectual disabilities. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the implementation of character guidance was conducted through several stages, including identifying the child‟s condition, program planning, implementation through routine habituation and role modeling, evaluation, and reinforcement through consistent habituation. Character guidance contributed to the development of independence in children with intellectual disabilities across three aspects: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. In terms of autonomy, children began to make simple decisions in daily activities. In terms of competence, children demonstrated increased self-confidence through successful task completion. In terms of relatedness, children were able to develop better social interactions through group learning and the habituation of empathy and cooperation values. %K Bimbingan Karakter, Kemandirian, Disabilitas Intelektual %D 2026 %I UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA %L digilib77850
