Summary/Abstract: Necessity of children's psychic need cognition seems to be one of the basic conditions for correct process of the disabled children's integration with school community. Disabled child often feels uncomfortable at school He or she may be plagued by feeling of inferiority and alienation. There is also lack of acceptation and liking for disabled child in the classroom. Doubtless, disabled learner feels hidden desire to contact with other classmates. In order to take care about their correct development and functioning in society, we should observe this special need of contact that those children with different dysfunctions have. The matter is not the same for different children. Disabled learners with intellectual norm desire contact with other children differently than learners with intellectual deficit and learners with emotional disorders. Some of them contact easily and willingly with healthy children but the others, for many reasons, limit this contact with healthy children and they choose their disabled peers.
