The findings reveal that individual learning strategies, such as one-on-one teaching and adaptive media, are crucial for addressing the unique needs of ABK. Holistic approaches integrating cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, including experiential learning and cultural integration, enhance understanding and engagement.

The results demonstrate that these strategies significantly improve ABK's comprehension of Hindu religious concepts and their participation in religious activities. This study concludes that tailored, inclusive, and collaborative learning strategies are vital for the successful implementation of Hindu religious education for ABK at SLB Negeri 1 Denpasar.
