This study aimed to determine whether or not there is a correlation between self-acceptance and psychosocial independence of students with disabilities in special schools in Yogyakarta. This research used a correlational design. The subjects of this study were students with disabilities who attended several special schools in Yogyakarta, with a total sample of 30 students with disabilities. The research instrument is a psychological scale of self-acceptance and psychosocial independence. The data analysis method used a non-parametric statistical analysis technique, the Spearman Rank Test. This method is used because one data is not normally distributed. The results of this study can be concluded that there is a correlation between self-acceptance and psychosocial independence of special school students with disabilities in Yogyakarta.
