In this paper, we reported the development process of Special Needs Education Assessment Tool (SNEAT) including the structure, characteristics, scoring method and the possible use of SNEAT. It measures the outcomes of the classes for the students with special needs. The questionnaire was composed of three scopes such as physical functioning, mental health and social functioning and 11 question items. Because SNEAT intended to evaluate educational outcome based on the changes of children with disabilities with the five-point Likert scale, the SNEAT will help teachers set the educational goals of their classes. In the future, if the SNEAT needed to be scientifically verified and standardized, it would be widely used in Japan.
