Maria Montessori's first book about Montessori method was published in 1912. Since then, popularity of this alternative method is growing. Inclusion of the children with special educational needs is greatly emphasised in preschool education nowadays. Special educational needs as an umbrella term include learning difficulties and disabilities as well as giftedness. There is a variety of difficulties that can be found among children in preschool education: vision impairment, speech, langugage and communication difficulties, intellectual difficulties, authism spectrum disorders, chronic and motoric disorders, thinking, understanding and learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral difficulties. Since the beginning of Montessori method, she has been emphasising the importance of including children with special educational needs in Montessori groups. She stated that children with difficulties and disabilities can be easily included in variegated groups because children do not recognize abilities and disabilities of other children. That kind of diverse environment provides special potential for development of children independently of their abilities. Guiding thought, which is „help me to do it myself“, gets a greater meaning. Maria Montessori shows the phenomenom of directing the attention in which children are completely preoccupied by their activities, which leads to normalising behavior. In that state, children are deprived of their disabilities and disorders. Maria Montessori highlights that the benevolent help, which is often practiced by adults, especially when working with children with disabilities and disorders, can only linger child's progress. She also emphasises independence and organization, which brings benefits to children with disabilities and disorders. Her prepared environment with attractive didactics which encourages the growth of every child has positive effect on giftedness. The goal of this paper is to show benefits of practicing the Montessori method with elements of Montessori health method and Montessori therapy in work with children with special educational needs.
