AbstractBased on the policy of inclusive educat ion, the United States provide s 4 major types of educational environments for children with disabilities. Withyears of practice, a rather stable and reasonable model of placement has been d eveloped. To achieve optimal development of the students, students with differen t types of disabilities are allocated to different classes. Students with normalintelligence or mild sensory impairment are mainly allocated to regular classes . Mentally-retarded students and those with severe sensory impairment are taughtseparately in “resources classes”. Among the 600,000 mentally-retarded primar yand secondary school students, only around 10 percent of them are placed in regu lar classes.
