The aim of the paper is to review foreign research on the attitudes of parents of disabled children towards inclusive education. The analysis included 16 foreign reports published in the years 1998–2016, conducted in European countries, in Australia and the US, and 3 Polish ones published in 2011–2016. The analysis took into account publications fulfilling the criterion of a broader presentation of results and a research group composed of parents of children with disabilities in preschool and school age. The results of international and Polish research indicate that the attitudes expressed by parents towards inclusive education are varied, generally positive and neutral. Parents mention both benefits resulting from it, mainly of a social nature, as well as indicate numerous deficiencies in educational support, regarding the availability of educational support and the possibility of individualizing the education process of their children.
