ENSocial and economical changes in Lithuania stepping forward into the XXI century enabled to educate the disabled children in the system of mainstream schools. Processes of integration and inclusion are taking place both in community and in education. Justice, equality and improvement of the life quality are the main needs of every human being. Following the principle of normalization, educational forms of the disabled pupils and indications of their life quality should differ as little as possible from the education and indications of the individuals having no disabilities. The article analyzes some aspects of the quality of social and economical life of integrated children and their families. The research showed that most of the integrated children had both parents but every fifth child had only one parent. Two thirds of the families having SEN children who study in mainstream schools face some social and economical problems. Half of them didn't have proper conditions for living and learning, as their flat was too small and every fourth family didn't have a separate kitchen. Children used to spend their free time in different ways nevertheless most often they were watching TV, they were also listening to music, attended concerts and some of them could play some musical instrument. Children's communication, parents' and children's communication and their forms comprise a very important educational aspect that should be taken into consideration of parents, guardians, special pedagogues, social workers, specialists of public health service. Parents should be more active in the occupation of public institutions protecting the disabled individuals. [From the publication]
