Summary/Abstract: The inclusion of students with special needs into the education process offered by public schools invites research concerning the transitional space created by hospital schools dedicated for chronically ill or disabled children. The interpretive paradigm was employed for the framework of the study, this choice being motivated by a wish to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of inclusion. The study aimed at getting acquainted with and describing the work of teachers in hospital schools from the perspective of the inclusion of students with special needs. Hence, the study focused on the work carried out by teachers in hospital schools. The collected information related to the interviewed teachers’ experiences facilitated the identification of common areas that are described in detail in this paper, along with the teachers’ narrations. Conclusions based on the conducted study demonstrate how hospital school teachers implement the notion of inclusion of students with special needs and what their experiences are as far as the inclusion process is concerned.
