A child can live their life satisfaction and could become a full member of their society. In this study, the term integration in the educational context is understood as the union of attitudes, values ​​, behaviors and future activities of various kinds.

Integration is one of the tools that help overcome such contradictions. Paravaulting is a special rehabilitation method that focuses on gymnastics on horseback and is recommended for people with disabilities. This is a method that result can in most cases to a significant development of motor skills. Paravaulting like every sport has its specific classification, in which athletes are classified according to their degree of disability into categories. They are assigned a status so as to provide them with comparable starting point for training and competition and thus ensure "fair play". To ensure proper classification this allows athletes to compete on a level comparable despite the diversity of disability.
