The article considers the problems of children with disabilities in education and appeals to provide school leaders and teachers with greater awareness and understanding of the significant impact of learning difficulties on them. Education process should be focused on creating a learning environment that is open and accessible to all students, regardless of age, skills, or situation. Flexible and supportive instruction can be adjusted to meet different students’ needs and enables all students to access the curriculum as fully as possible. Via education they get social support which allows them to develop socially and emotionally, they must have access to quality education like other children. To become more socialized children with disabilities must go to school with other children but not only to special schools. In Canada education is recognized as a fundamental social goal and much is done to increase accessibility in all aspects of society and remove all the barriers that restrict life choices for disabled. Access to school for children with disabilities is often limited by a lack of understanding about their needs, and a lack of trained teachers, classroom support learning resources and facilities.
