Aggression and violence has become a regular part of school reality. The ongoing legal changes in the education system have provided children with mild intellectual disabilities the opportunity to study in three forms of education: mainstream schools, integration classes and special schools. Unfortunately, the results of many studies have revealed that students with disabilities are more likely to be subject to peer victimization, particularly in various forms of inclusive education. In view of such facts, the question arises whether, and if so, how and with what frequency students with mild intellectual disabilities in various forms of education experience aggression and violence perpetrated by teachers. This seems particularly important because of the role that teachers play in building a sense of security in students, especially those with mild intellectual disabilities. The results of the study revealed a much higher level of aggression and violence experienced by students with mild intellectual disabilities perpetrated by teachers working in mainstream schools compared to those working in special schools. This fact raises great reservations regarding the teachers’ attitude towards students with mild intellectual disabilities and the level of their preparation for effective work with such students.

This chapter explores life in Czechoslovakia (later Czech Republic) in the 20th Century for people with intellectual disabilities. It opens at the time that the Czech lands were part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. This was a period marked by efforts to increase the quality of institutional care for people with intellectual disabilities. The authors then describe the period of communism. They discuss the controversial nature of an Education Act (1948), which contained a well-established network of special schools for students with disabilities as a regular part of the school system, and yet it introduced the concept of “being uneducable” for students with severe and profound intellectual disabilities. The authors also debate the role of a parental movement in advocacy for the rights of people with intellectual disabilities. The chapter concludes with the period after the fall of communism, when compulsory education was introduced for all children with no exception.

Special education has undergone continued transformation since societies began to provide an increasing number of specialized, segregated facilities for children with like needs during the 20th century. Since then, there has been a worldwide movement against a segregated approach and toward greater inclusion of students with disabilities into regular schools. The provision of a dual special education and regular school system, nevertheless, remains in existence, even though there has been a strong emphasis on a more inclusive approach since the latter half of the 20th century. As regular schools become more inclusive and teachers more capable of providing appropriate modifications for most students with learning needs, simultaneously there has been an increase in the number of students whose needs are so severe that schools have not been able to accommodate them. While these children and youth have special needs, they are invariably not related to an identified disability but fall more into a category of diversity. In particular, students who are excluded from schools due to severe infringements, those who are disenfranchised from school and refuse to attend, and those with severe emotional, behavioral, or mental health issues are not being serviced by the existing dual system. For these students neither existing special schools that cater to students with disabilities nor regular inclusive schools provide an appropriate education. The provision of a complementary and alternatively focused education to cater to the specific needs of these marginalized students seems to be developing to ensure sustainability of education and to prepare these new groups of students for inclusion into society upon leaving school. This tripartite approach highlights a new era in the movement toward a sustainable, inclusive education system that caters to the needs of all students and specifically those with the most challenging and diverse requirements.

The article provides a classification of pedagogical conditions of realization of inclusive education in the higher education system and their analysis in six universities in Moscow. The study involved 212 students from 1 to 4 year studying in different majors and levels of training. The study was conducted by surveying. To study the teaching conditions two groups were identified in a contingent of students: students with disabilities, and without deviations in health. For the analysis of the data we used correlation and factor analysis. The results of the study confirmed the theoretical structure of the classification and showed differences in the estimates of pedagogical conditions of implementation of inclusive education of students with disabilities, and without them. The theoretical framework for the analysis and classification can be used in practice for the study of pedagogical conditions of implementation of inclusive education in educational institutions of different tupes.

In this essay, I explore the reasons behind the persistence of segregated education of students with intellectual disabilities in Austria. Doing so, I critically interrogate three phases of the Austrian education system concerning the role of students with intellectual disabilities: (1) The rapid expansion of special schools in the 1960s and 1970s, (2) the rise of integrated education in the 1980s and 1990s and (3) the last two decades, which were characterized by budget cuts, school accountability policies and failed efforts to further the implementation of inclusive education.

Abstract The aim of the research was to emphasize the incidence of spine deficiencies in students with intellectual disabilities involved in the recovery program within the kinetotherapy classes carried out in special schools in Bucharest. We wanted to point out that among the two categories of children with disabilities enrolled in special education from Bucharest (children with mild / moderate intellectual disabilities and children with serious / severe / profound intellectual disabilities) there are no statistical differences related to the incidence of spine deficiencies. Research sample consisted of students enrolled in special education from 11 schools. Thus there were formed two groups of students: students with mild / moderate intellectual disabilities and children with serious / severe / profound intellectual disabilities. Another criterion for forming working groups was the school level. Thus, each category was divided into subjects enrolled in primary education and subjects enrolled in secondary education. The comparison made between the groups revealed that in terms of the incidence of spine deficiencies there is correlation between the type of physical deficiency and the degree of disability.

The article discusses the history and development of education for children with disabilities. Ways to involve people with disabilities in inclusive education are explored, their integration into society, programs adopted by the state in this area and the identification of future steps to create a barrier-free environment for them are announced. It is stated that every child should take advantage of the opportunity for inclusive education and become an active member of society without being separated from the society that surrounds them, and no child should be excluded from education and society due to disability. In conclusion, it is argued that there are many problems faced by people with disabilities that pose serious challenges to the development of an inclusive society and to the development of an educated population in general. One of the main problems in our country is the lack of an inclusive education system. It is noted that one of the main factors that can lead to significant improvements in the lives of children with disabilities is the creation of accessible infrastructure. Thus, in the absence of accessible infrastructure, education-related programs cannot have any serious effect. Key words: Inclusive education, children with disabilities, special schools, education, secondary schools

This chapter represents a literature review of inclusion policies and practices for children with special needs into the mainstream education system of Romania. The authors provide a structured analysis of the main inclusion practices, with an emphasis on the criticism of the current practice. The main criticisms come from teachers, informal caregivers, students with disabilities, and stakeholders. The analysis is backed up by official documents (reports and legislation), empirical research, and other papers of Romanian professionals in the field of special and inclusive education. After approximately two decades of inclusive schooling in Romania, the authors conclude that there is still a lot of room for improvement. Inclusion is an uninterrupted process that requests resources, structure, and scientific evidence, all embodied in technical and material means, diverse teaching strategies, and well-trained professors that are able to face the challenges.
