Summary/Abstract: The contribution informs about the course and results of joint education of intact and handicapped children, which we have verified experimentally. In practice, it deals with the integration of hearing children among physically disabled children with hearing disorders and with a damaged communicative ability in a special kindergarten. The aim of the experimental verification was to develop the speech and social skills of children with special educational needs as well as healthy children, in the process of integration. The analysis of experimental verification confirmed positive results in the area of communication and social competences in children with health handicap. Moreover, it pointed out the presence of elements of prosocial behavior in interaction with intact children. We consider these findings positive in assessing the success of including children with disabilities in a healthy peer population.
