Abstract
This paper presents the results of research on factors affecting the integration of children with disabilities in schools in three special education schools in HCM City. We surveyed 126 parents of children with disabilities (blind, deaf, and some children with disabilities) and 33 teachers by means of questionnaire. Results showed that school factors such as extracurricular activities, group activities, ability to communicate with teachers, etc. have a direct impact on the integration of children in schools (the ability to communicate, the level of cooperation, group activities, etc.); besides, sibling relationships in the family also affect a child's ability to communicate at school.
