If children with disabilities attend classes in regular schools, this results in the fact that teachers pay too much attention to them, and other children are deprived a little bit.

It's good that children with disabilities attend regular schools, because in this way, social skills and tolerance of other children are developed

If children with disabilities attend classes in regular schools, it has positive influence on their development. Even when children with disabilities go through their education, they have less chances to get a job than the other citizens of the same level of education. Schools in Montenegro are not built to be accessible to children with disabilities, and architectural adaptation of institutions to the needs of these children should be one of the most important tasks of the state and society.

For the development of the children with disabilities it is much better to attend a specialized institution for education, than to go to regular schools.

Inclusion of children with disabilities in regular schools would contribute to better understanding of these children by their peers.

If children with disabilities attend classes in regular schools, this results in the fact that teachers pay too much attention to them, and other children are deprived a little bit. Montenegro currently has a lot of more important problems and many more important issues than the adjustment of the regular school to the needs of children with disabilities, creating new educational programs and training teachers to work with these
