Disability is a part of the human nature, where everyone suffers from some form of disability at some point in his life stage, it may be temporary or permanent. The research problem could be summarized in how the architectural rehabilitation is not efficient for the integration of students with disabilities in the Egyptian Governmental schools, Thus, a study of the current situation of the architectural rehabilitation of some local schools is required, which can be occurred by comparing local models to some Arab and international examples. The importance of the Research represented as it is the first step for the person with disability in dealing with the community. The Reseach aims at defining the Importance of the Integration of Students with disabilities in the School Environment, and assesses the design processes achieved in the schools with the integration programs. The Research follows the Qualitative approach, which depends on the method of a case study, through a comparative analysis of two local examples with International and Arabic ones. The research consists of three parts,the first part discusses the theoretical framework of the concepts of disability and integration, while the second part deals with the case study of international, Arabic and local examples, and concludes with findings and recommendations. The research results indicate that the average level of architectural rehabilitation of the local models is weak. The inefficiency of such schools is represented in the lack of basic criteria which should have been considered for students with disabilities. Such inconsideration results in their movement disability and prevents them from using spaces independently. The research recommends the allocation of at least one school, at each level of educational administration to serve as an educational, therapeutic, and rehabilitative institution - given the current economic challenges faced by Egypt - as well as providing all detailed drawings that concern design with accessibility for individuals with disabilities, to be available for architects at the Public Organization for Educational Buildings, in order to ensure proper implementation
