AB  - Recalling the principles proclaimed in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities inclusive education relates also to leisure time facilities that are supposed to create adequate conditions for the participation of disabled children in leisure time activities. Since the attention of specialists has been in the long term concentrated on didactic questions of inclusive education within the teaching - learning process, elaboration of the issue in the leisure time education isn't sufficient at present, at least in the region of Central Europe. The study clarifies some of the possibilities of the support of inclusive education of disabled children in one of the types of leisure time facilities, specifically, in a school club. Two types of programs were pilot-verified in selected facilities in SR, which demonstrated stimulating findings. The programs were carried out by experiential form through games, which enabled the intact pupils to realize particularities and limitations that emerge from a specific disability. A considerable change in attitudes toward inclusion of pupils with disability in leisure time facilities was noted in a preparation program carried out with the intact pupils solely; a less considerable change was noted in a supportive program carried out in an integrated environment. After the completion of the program some of the participants presented a negative, possibly ambiguous attitude toward their physically disabled classmate. Despite this finding the implementation of the above mentioned programs into practice may be one of the ways of the support of inclusion of disabled children in leisure time facilities.
