Alternation of standpoint (attitude) in education system system towards a child with special needs

Abstract

The article represents alternation of standpoint (attitude) in reformed education system towards a child with special needs. In the theory and practice of integrated education so far is paid relatively low attention towards improvement of social interaction between disabled scholars and teachers, analysis and elimination of the reasons of prejudices, alternation of positive attitude. Very relevant issue in Lithuania, as well as throughout Europe, is slow alternation of attitude towards integration of children with special needs into the system of general education. Although experience that was gained in Lithuania is fair enough, good results gained during organization of methodological, scientific research work in the field of special and social pedagogy, however there is a lack of works which would analyse the attitude of general-education teachers towards the opportunities of special children's education in the context of alternation of education system.
