Considered differentiated and adapted forms of school instruction, educational, social and medical assistance, intended for persons with SEND, special education and special integrated education in Romania is achieved based on the principle of democratic education: the access to any form of education, the right to education at all levels regardless of social or material condition, sex, race, nationality, religious or political affiliation or any other restriction that might be considered discrimination.
