The issue of environmental education, on the one hand, belongs to relatively new in corrective-methodological science. This applies to most humane, spiritual guidance to teaching natural science subjects, due to the current dominant paradigm of ecocentric social development. On the other hand, the need for a love of nature, the desire to preserve and increase its relative wealth, aesthetically perceive its beauty is traditionally discussed in a special pedagogical, psychological, methodological science, its importance and relevance notice scientists who dedicate their work to the technique of education. So there is a need to analyze the process of formation and development of environmental education of mentally retarded students in Ukrainian correctional pedagogical, psychological and methodological fields. The results of research in this area confirm the list of Ukrainian defectology, the work which today can be interpreted as relevant to environmental issues. The leading idea they unanimously advocated developing various areas of defectology, was expediency of "natural approaches" to a child with mental and physical development deficiencies. The theoretical issues of Ukrainian scientists have often been referred to by known foreign and Russian colleagues. The article reviews the current state of Ukrainian origins of environmental education in special schools. The analysis of curriculum of special schools showed that the integrated approach to natural science disciplines is not fully implemented in terms of instilling in students love and respect for nature; ill-defined system of environmental concepts which should be mastered by students; lack of interdisciplinary links between science and geography; labor training and fine arts, etc. That’s why the existing organization of the process of environmental education of mentally retarded pupils does not meet the needs of modern society and contains the contradiction between the potential opportunities of developing in students the components of environmental education and the insufficient development of pedagogical conditions of its realization in the process of studying of natural history material.
