One Nation's Pauline Hanson has called for Autistic children to be pulled out of mainstream classes and educated in a 'special classroom'.

Speaking to the Senate on Wednesday, she said having a disabled child in a mainstream classroom was holding back other students, as they required special care.

The Queensland Senator made the remarks during a speech confirming she will help to pass the Federal Government's $18.6billion school funding package.

One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson has told the Senate children with autism should be moved to special classes as they take up too much of the teachers' time

'These kids have a right to an education by all means - but if there's a number of them, these children should actually go into a special classroom, looked after and given that special attention,' she said.

'Most of the time, the teacher spends so much time on them they forget about the child who wants to go ahead in leaps and bounds in their education, but are held back.
