The article analyses international special educational needs and disability acts in terms of disabled students’ equal access to education. Discrimination against students with disabilities and their social isolation appears to be a topical issue for any democratic state. Thus, ensuring conditions for the development of every personality has become the priority for each state. On the other hand, globalization, humanization and educational integration have become the main tendencies of social development at the beginning of the third millennium. Consequently, there developed a different view on education in a modern society. At present everybody has an equal access to education. To meet the special educational needs of each student the inclusive education was introduced. Inclusive education tends to be concerned with creating learning environment to meet each learner’s requirements and possibilities irrespective of his or her psychological and physical development. European community stresses that students with special educational needs and disability shouldn’t be discriminated, they must be educated in regular classes at their local schools.
