There are four dimensions: content, teaching methods, learning task sequence / reconciliation and social context. According to L. Šiaučiukėnienė et al. (2006: 210) the elements of the learning environment can be distinguished as: information sources, physical or virtual space, learning skills and experience, social interaction. A learning environment can be treated as natural and as designed, but they must have an educational impact for the individual and educational value, i.e. the ability to education facilities to help someone to prepare for life and how to solve problems of the activities. The adaptation of the learning environment for the needs of disabled learners is important, because it is an opportunity to attract students to private or other schools.
