A common room at school should provide the classes considering the educational and developmental needs of pupils, as well as their psychophysical capabilities, in particular the classes developing pupils' interests, allowing proper physical development and doing their homework. The addressed issues relate to the conditions and activities undertaken in the common rooms of state schools, which create an inclusive space for the pupils with special educational needs. The method of a diagnostic survey and the survey questionnaire of its own design were used in this study. The research group consisted of the teachers – tutors from common rooms in Rzeszów who shared their opinions and experiences on successes and real inclusive difficulties. The specific problems were formulated in the questions: What special needs do the pupils using the common rooms demonstrate? What is the level of conditions in the school common room in the range of the activities for the pupils with special educational needs? And what successes and difficulties in implementing inclusion do the teachers of the common rooms indicate? In the course of diagnostic research, the group of children with special needs was identified, the situations favourable for inclusion and the difficult situations, requiring systematic approach and verification, were determined. The obtained results show the urgent need for changes, both by the bodies governing schools and by the headmasters, in the organization and the specific conditions of functioning of all pupils (including the pupils with special educational needs). In relation to the above, an important message for science is not only the aspect of diagnosis of the pupils' situation, but also the design, modelling and evaluation of the school's care and educational tasks.
