Today’s society needs educated and competent people who are able to make use of existing knowledge and are ready for further development, which includes the idea of perfection and progressive changes. In this context, the question of educational provision for pupils with special needs is being pursued in Latvia: whether all of these pupils and in what way are they included in the general educational institution, whether a school is prepared to provide favourable conditions for the acquisition of high quality education for the pupils, what are possible pedagogical challenges and how can they be dealt with in order for pupils with special needs to socialize in a modern society, to become independent, active members of society who are also able to make decisions. The educators of the Rezekne Higher Education Institution are actively involved in finding solutions by participation in various international and national projects. One of the most significant projects in this field is the national science programme “Innovative solutions for social telerehabilitation in the schools of Latvia in the context of inclusive education (INOSOCTEREHI)”. The physical balance of 12–13 old Latvian pupils and its connection with their emotional and mental balance are researched in the framework of the project.
