In the current research, which is in the relational survey model, the data were collected from 674 classroom teachers working in public and private primary schools in Edirne city and districts. Placement and Services Survey (YHA - PASS) consisting of six vignettes and 10 sections, which was developed as Autism Inclusion Questionnaire (AIQ) by Segall and Campbell (2007) and restructured by Segall (2011), was used as the data collection tool.

According to the results obtained from the analyses, the opinions of the classroom teachers on the level of appropriateness to the existing placement environments of the children in all vignettes varied according to their scenarios, cognitive levels and diagnoses. In addition, it has been determined that whether children with autism have a diagnosis and their cognitive levels influence the opinions of the classroom teachers about inclusion.
