This includes their adaptation to the specialists conducting assessments, the physical environment, and the methods employed. It explores the challenges of implementing inclusive education and integrating children with special needs into mainstream schools. Finally, the article examines the research foundation and the profiles of respondents involved in studying children’s adaptation to specialists, environments and assessment methods.
