Abstract

One of the broader goals of integration is to create a school for all that will meet the special needs and capabilities of all students with and without special educational needs. The dimension of the term integration is not achieved by the simple coexistence of children with and without special educational needs (spatial integration). Functional integration begins in the classroom and depends on the use of effective strategies and practices by the teacher, so that children with special educational needs are actively involved in both academic and social learning. This paper presents the structure of special education in Greece the recent decades. Through an extensive bibliographic report, the way of education of students with special needs in the Greek educational system is outlined.
