The purpose of this study is to overview the development process of integration conception of adapted physical education on the basis of changes in integration conception of special education. This is because the education theories, and also for the integration conception, professors who have been studied in the United Stated are using the developed conception of American style integration education as it has been. Therefore, not only the changes in the conception of American style integration have been applying as it have to our country, but also we can's think of integration conception of adapted physical education separating from the integration conception of social education. This because adapted physical education has been develpoed with these changes in the conception of integration education of special education.
The development stages such integration conception processed in a fellowing sequences: Normalization; Integration; Least Restrictive Environment; Mainstreaming; Regular Education Initiative; and Inclusion. Normalization means to give opportunities for the disabled so that they can live in a pattem getting closer to the lives of normal persons, if possible, who constitute the Mainstreaming of society; Integration means that the disabled receive education together with normal children, which says a physical integration; LRE is a wold manifested in the Public Law 94-142, which is meant to provide the most adequate educational environments and serviecs for the disabled children; Mainstreaming means that the disabled children are disposed in regular school where they receive education with regular education's initiative means that regular
teachers and special teachers are responsible for education for disabled children and normal children, and the most educational effects is obtained through the best educational placements for the two groups; and Inclusion education means that disabled children are placed in regular school from the first, and if problems happen as they are being educated, optimum serviced and educational placements which fit the children should be provided again. Such integration conception evolves with changes of the necessity of the conception and social situation enough discussions should be made on such term from now. On the other hand, A term 'Infusion' has begun to be discussed in special education and adapted physical education in the United States. Therefore, also in our country consideration should be made on this term and enough discussions should
be made as to what direction integration education should proceed.
