    The purpose of the current research is to generate data and impressions from children with disabilities in Kosovo in order to get a deeper understanding for their general situation and daily life in our country. Data were collected qualitatively through semi-structured interviews. In total 10 children with disabilities participated in the research; out of which 6 girls and 4 boys. Participant’s age varied from 7 to 17 years old, representing three types of disabilities: physical, sensory and intellectual disability. The main findings of the research are the following: Children with disabilities are active interpreters of their personal experiences; Children with disabilities develop positive self-perception when their interactions rely only in family bases; Children with disabilities, develop negative self-perception when their social interactions rely beyond the family. Parents tend to develop inappropriate supportive strategies towards their children with disabilities; Children with disabilities face access difficulties; Mainly, children with disabilities hold non-positive perception towards school; Violence is not reported to be a common phenomenon among participants of the research; The current research has its limits; however, future advanced methodologies are recommended to be designed in purpose of generating more objective results.
