PROJECT RELEVANCE<\/h6>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_column_text]Recently, there has been increasing discussion about the integration of children with special needs into educational institutions. However, today’s schools and teachers are often not yet prepared for the full integration process. There is a lack of theoretical knowledge and specific working methods.
