ENIntegration of visually impaired children is more simple than of intellectually disabled children because of their adaptation opportunities. At the same time both intellectually and visually impaired children need their teachers’ kindness and understanding as well as their encouragement in tolerant communication with their peers. The fact that mainstream school students have such a poor experience of communicating with SN children shows that they are still isolated from each other. So far pedagogues from special schools are very passive too. Though children from special schools can participate in various performances, festivals yet there’s little common activity together with mainstream schools where children could get to know each other better. SN children’s skills of public behaviour are also poor consequently they feel tension, they are afraid to be laughed at or to appear not very attractive. Teachers, psychologists, special pedagogues, working with SN children should help them to cope with educational problems that are caused by their disability or by psychological barriers, promote their sense of being safe, psychological endurance and social skills. Different aspects of integration are discussed as it causes a big interest. The problem became very actual because of integration of SN children and the necessity to change society’s attitude to disabled people. What concerns these changes there’s big hope expected from the youngest part of society. There has been investigated the attitude of mainstream school students to children with visual and intellectual disabilities, as having different learning possibilities and peculiarities of communication. The knowledge of mainstream school students about their peers with developmental problems is satisfactory.
