The stigma of society that underestimates and restricts the opportunity of Disabled Person to be integrated into occupational organizations has caused them to be in the midst of poverty. Therefore, this group need to be exposed as early as formal education to develop vocational skills, especially entrepreneurship, in order to be able to remain independent in the future. The idea of mushroom cultivation programme by the Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) and District Farmer’s Organisation (PPK) Seri Pulau, Pulau Pinang, to Special Needs Students (MBK) in the Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi (PPKI) in government secondary schools was set up as a basic transitional programme in agro-entrepreneurship. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the capacity of the support system, consisting of administrators' support, teacher community support, parental involvement support and external agency support in developing agro-entrepreneurial skills among Special Needs Students (MBK) with Learning Difficulties as well as on the viability of the programme. The rationale for this study is that there are some schools that have ceased to carry out this programme although this good programme should have a continuation of developing agropreneur among pupils with Learning Difficulties. The design of qualitative studies (interviews) involved 14 Special Education teachers in 14 schools involved with the mushroom cultivation programme in Pulau Pinang. The findings showed that the support factors of administrators, teachers and external agencies greatly influence the viability of the mushroom cultivation programme to these Learning Difficulties students. While the support of parents and teachers is the most influential in developing entrepreneurial skills amongst these students. Even there is a lack of infrastructure, funding and technology assistance in mushroom cultivation in schools, the solid support and collaborative linkages between these parties was able to ensure the viability of the programme in providing agro-basic exposure on agro-entrepreneurship. In this regard, the support of administrators and senior officials such as the State Education Department (JPN) and the Ministry of Education (KPM) through capital injection and development training to teachers should be emphasized. Additionally, the factor of parents' relationship integrity with the support of the mushroom cultivation programme needs to be intact, so that the goal of forming agropreneur among students with Learning Difficulties will be achieved. Students in this category require collaboration ties and strong support from all parties in the course of forming their self-confidence to face the competitive working environment in future.
