Abstract: The Education (Special Education) Regulations 2013 stated to include children with speech disabilities, physical disabilities and multiple disabilities, compared to those with only visual, hearing, and learning disabilities previously in the inclusive education programmes. This led to an increase of 58,253 special needs students enrolled in Malaysian schools in 2014, compared to 7,797 previously. Even though there is a lot of dissatisfaction among parents, the special education teachers have a higher rate of burnout than is found in most other professions. The burnout rate is the result of a number of issues that often culminate in these teachers leaving their jobs. It is estimated that 75 percent of those who teach special needs students will leave their job within 10 years of starting. This paper presents a finding of a teacher who is in a private educational setting in Melaka, Malaysia and the challenges, strategies and successes she obtained while them. It is to identify the teaching approaches applied by the teacher during the process of teaching pupils with Autism. The research is based on triangular qualitative research with document analysis, observation and interview. It discusses the challenges, strategies and success the teacher gained in the process of teaching and learning. This study has demonstrated impressive results in which one realizes that there are teachers’ who are trying to reach out and attract the attention of students with certain teaching methods.
