Summary/Abstract: The text includes first findings from research conducted on the topic of integrating vulnerable groups through sport, and in particular children with intellectual disabilities. Based on collected data and empirical material on the sporting activities of so-called “special” children, it presents some characteristics of the Bulgarian family and social context in which they live. The research analyses some of the sporting activities offered in the country and the contribution that sport has to the socialisation and inclusion of these children with special needs.
