Educators in Lithuanian institutions emphasize that integrating children with disabilities or developmental disorders into mainstream settings offers them opportunities for growth and future societal inclusion. While some institutions, like “Žilvitis” kindergarten, have long experience and dedicated specialists, they face challenges in securing sufficient resources. Success often depends on the individual teacher’s commitment, as demonstrated by successful integration of children with visual impairments. Other schools, such as “LiepaitÄ—” kindergarten and Dovilų primary school, are also actively working on inclusive education, recognizing that preparation is a gradual process and that every case requires a unique approach. Internationally, while some countries like Czechia are implementing individual education plans, others face significant systemic barriers, highlighting the need for the entire community to take responsibility for fostering inclusion.
