The instruments of research are cognitive test and observation. Based on the results of the research, there was an increase in learning independence and self ability of exceptional children through VBA-assisted mathematical learning media for excel games. While the implemention of learning media applied in exceptional children was success. Children showed bravery, active, enthusiastic, responsive, and excited when the process of learning took place.
