Summary/Abstract: The study is an evaluation of the class for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a public school in Rzeszów, Poland. The addressed issues concern the educational and therapeutic process, social integration of children with ASD, attitudes towards school integration of children with autism spectrum disorders exhibited by teachers employed in the school, and the evaluation of this solution by parents of children with autism. The participants in the study were 33 teachers working in the school and two mothers of students with ASD, currently attending the third grade. The obtained results show teachers’ positive attitude towards the school integration of children with ASD and parents’ general satisfaction with the functioning of the class; they also provide an overall sketch of the areas that require improvement or special attention. Moreover, the results highlight how important it is for parents to have their children included in the mainstream of the school’s social life.
