Research Abstract	From the analysis of existing statistics, the following was clarified. 1. The number of children who were learning in the special support educational institution changed to an exponential increase in middle of the 1990's. 2. This increase is especially remarkable in the special support classes. 3. The big difference between administrative divisions is seen there. Moreover, as a result of investigation for three years from 2007, the applicability of the system for the special support education in elementary and junior high schools is not high though it has been supposedly maintained. The grasp rate of the child who has special needs is different depending on the school size. If the school size was matched, the special support class functioned effectively as a resource in the school.
