Summary/Abstract: The right to education is guaranteed to all children. Moreover, it is not only a right, but also an obligation that children must fulfill. Every child has the right to equal and accessible education in accordance with their abilities, needs and interests. The state is obliged to ensure equal access to education for every child in accordance with his / her educational needs and psychophysical abilities. Bearing in mind the fact that children are different and have different opportunities and needs for acquiring knowledge, the state should strive to provide a way of education that is adapted to the needs of the child. This can be achieved through the process of inclusive education. The development of inclusive education is a significant segment of education reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In order for the inclusive process to be fully implemented, the participation of several actors is required. One of the main ones is a complete professional team in which the role of helping professions in schools is important, namely: pedagogues, social workers, psychologists and special educators. It is in this paper that we will point out the role and importance of these professions in inclusive education.
