Abstract		l. Integration is an education of a child with special needs, together with his healthy equals in as much as normal circumstances. The child with special needs is not integrated between equals only physically, but also actively, in order to do everything what he is capable of. The school and a teacher provide such conditions, in which this child could be active. The meaning of integration is thus not only in physical joining or incorporation of children with special needs into a primary school, but mostly in adaptation of normal circumstances in such way that these children would be able to make progress according to their abilities. The meaning of integration is in active spending of time at school, which has to be adapted to child's abilities. 2. School is undoubtedly the place, where children attain knowledge, but it is much more important how a child experiences school, what are his feelings about it, because with positive feelings he would be able to attain knowledge much faster. It is very important that a child remains mentally active, with a sense of equality, and this is very important in the case of a child with special needs. The teacher remains the one who successfully joins different children and takes care of that everybody gets an opportunity to develop his or her physical, mental and spiritual abilities. It is important that in the process of teaching we include the teacher, who is prepared to such challenges, and who knows a child's diversity well and accepts a child equally to others. 3. In children's lives, especially of those with special needs, the most important roles have the main individuals of our lives. Firstly, this individuals are parents and pupils - equals, and later come along also other authorities, teachers. Trust and faith in a young human being are very important for his or her personal development. The child will trust himself, in his own abilities, if also his ideal trust him.
