Model outreach counseling ini direkomendasikan kepada pembimbing/guru agar memperhatikan muatan nilai-nilai budaya lokal masyarakat Kota Padang, bahwa dalam membimbing kemandirian ATGS perlu memanfaatkan apa yang ada dan terjadi di alam serta budaya lingkungan dijadikan pengalaman belajar. ---------- The background to the research is the low self-reliance of children with moderate intellectual disability and the lack of professional treatment for this issue through guidance and counseling. In this regard, outreach counseling is an effort of maximizing an alternative service in the event that a counselor has difficulties in conducting the standard counseling process. Hence, this research aims to construct an outreach counseling model to increase the self-reliance of children with moderate intellectual disability. This research adopted Research and Development research model through the following stages: 1) initial drafting, 2) validating model draft with experts of counseling and guidance and special education, and 3) testing model effectiveness. The results show that: 1) in reality, children with moderate intellectual disability in Padang City have not been fully self-reliant; 2) the outreach counseling model is laden with Minangkabau cultural values and contains vision and mission, requirements for counselor, and preparation as well as stages for model implementation; 3) the effectiveness test demonstrates that the outreach counseling model is effective in increasing the self-reliance of children with moderate intellectual disability. Thus, it is recommended that teachers/counselors in developing the self-reliance of children with moderate intellectual disability and take advantage of the surrounding environment and phenomena to be made resources.
