Summary/Abstract: We currently understand the inclusion process as a natural element in the field of education of disabled and socially disadvantaged individuals. Its essence lies in solving relationships intact in the majority position towards the handicapped in the position of minority. It is an ongoing process, and it draws attention to the existing barriers that children or adults with disabilities encounter in inclusive direction. We consider speech abilities, communication skills and social competences with the possibility of naturally developing them in an intact environment as a key factor for the success of including preschool children with hearing impairment among the majority population in regular kindergartens.
