Abstract: Educational services are provided according to the available options, in compliance with the public policies. After the closure of the specialized schools for students with intellectual disabilities, they study in the general education schools in Bulgaria and are dealt with by the state administration. This is also valid for the students with Down Syndrome. It is a real challenge for a teacher in a class with such pupils. And what are the challenges for a teacher teaching in a class with bilinguals under language pressure with a Down Syndrome? In the article are examined these issues, and a low incidence Down Syndrome in pupils in the primary educational stage in the Bulgarian schools is found, and a minimal, almost zero, in schools with predominance of bilinguals from Roma origin, notwithstanding the social and cultural areal. And what are the reasons? Could this be a phenomenon? Should the answer be sought in the medical field or elsewhere?
Key words: students with special educational needs, Down Syndrome, Roma, bilinguals, inclusive, diseases.
