Previous research has examined the institutional and extra-institutional embedding and network of students, however, we still know little about the network of students with special educational needs. What makes this research unique is that it compares the characteristics of SEN-A and SEN-B students. Therefore, the embeddedness of students with special educational needs within the institution is investigated using quantitative research method. The research sought an answer to the question of what characteristics can be used to describe the network of students with special educational needs, and whether there is a difference between SEN-A and SEN-B students. Based on the results, there are significant differences in the case of students with special educational needs, whether they are embedded more strongly in the environment inside or outside the institution.
