Changes in society, democratization of education enable to shift towards persons with disabilities, in order to integrate them into society without causing discomfort neither the person, nor those around him. Categorization of disabilities and disorders according to medical criteria does not meet the educational objectives of pupils with special educational needs, as both developmental disorders and learning difficulties create the variety of abilities, needs and interests of pupils in the class. Such variety refers to school for all pupils, to involving (inclusive) education. According to the results of surveys, although the pupils with special educational needs are involved in general education, the teacher still remains alone with his philosophy and methods, without being offered an opportunity for cooperation, consultancy support, which is one of conditions for success in the involving (inclusive) education. Lack of systematic research is still observed, which brings out the didactics issues of art education of pupils with special educational needs, therefore, the analyzed scientific problem is relevant. The objectives of special art education are focused not only on the pupils having special educational needs, but also to the surrounding people – teachers, classmates, family, society, and even more, to their mutual interactions. Such change of didactic goals reveals the new art education principles. The subjects of the article are the didactic goals and principles, educating the pupils with special needs by art. Applying the method of analysis of the scientific literature, the article reveals the research of the world and Lithuanian scientists in the field of special art pedagogy and theoretically justifies six principles of art education: art education focused on the emotionally positive interaction between the learner and teacher, directed to the learner’s family and society; art education is of moral aspect; content of art education is integral and perceived; educational methods are applied in complex; in the process of art education the verbal and nonverbal reflections predominate; art education is personally and socially meaningful for the pupils with special educational needs.

The reasons are examined for the disparity between the inclusive vision espoused by Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the reality of the limited extent of inclusion in education systems worldwide. First, the leadership of key senior academics in the field of special education is considered to have been misguided in promoting a vision of full inclusion despite the lack of research evidence for the benefits of inclusive education over traditional special education provision. Second, attitudes toward and the treatment of people with disabilities have a long and complex history, and in this, many proponents of inclusion have been critical of 20th century special education. In particular, they claim that the sorting, labelling and categorizing required by special education have negative implications. Third, educators have been encouraged to imagine a system of education that is limitless, in the sense that all children with disabilities can be included in general education. This is because it is envisaged that general education classrooms will become so flexible that there will be no limits to the accommodation of students with disabilities, regardless of the nature or severity of their special educational needs. Fourth is the issue that deciding a student’s placement for education requires a judgment call and that, since human judgment is fallible, errors of judgment will always be made. Fifth, commitments to inclusion require that educators consider the practical, reality-based implications, whereas this has not been the case for many supporters of full inclusion. In conclusion, inclusion in the sense of students being physically present in general education classrooms is not considered as important as inclusion in the reality of being engaged in a program of instruction that is meaningful and challenging. Therefore, we consider that, rather than becoming extinct, special education needs to continue to be developed, disseminated and rigorously implemented in schools. Key special education strategies and approaches must co-exist with those from inclusive education, in order to provide effective education for all young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

With the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN General Assembly Resolution 6/106, adopted at 61 session of the UN General Assembly, 2006), the Law of Ukraine No. 176-VI dated December 13, 2009 approved a number of legislative acts. Thus, the Convention on the Development of Inclusive Education, approved by the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine dated 10.10.2010 No. 912 states that inclusive education is a complex process of ensuring equal access to quality education for children with special educational needs by organizing their education in general educational institutions based on the application of personally oriented teaching methods, taking into account the individual peculiarities of educational and cognitive activity of such children. The solution of the problem of organizing inclusive education in general educational institutions of Ukraine is aimed at fulfilling the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which led to intensification of scientific research. In this direction, textbooks have been published, methodological recommendations have been developed, scientific articles have been published, defended dissertations. At the same time, in new school projects, investors and authors of general education institutions often do not envisage the organization of inclusive education, believing that children with special educational needs will not study in these institutions. First of all, we should note that in Ukraine society is not entirely prepared to solve the problem of organizing inclusive education in secondary schools. For example, not everyone knows that the formation of a class with inclusive education is carried out by the head of a comprehensive educational institution, taking into account educational needs of the population, provided that there is a necessary material and technical and methodological base, appropriate pedagogical staff and premises, in agreement with the relevant education management body. The article examines the issues of creating equal access for children with special educational needs to quality education by forming a comfortable architectural and planning organization of general educational institutions. Recommendations are given regarding the occupancy of classes with inclusive education, the parameters and areas of the main premises of schools are determined.

It has been established that in the United Kingdom, in particular in England and Wales, there is a program which stipulates that all students, in particular those with special educational needs, should take a foreign language course. It has been proven that there is a special course in Scotland, which provides opportunities for pupils with special educational needs to learn a modern language while studying at the secondary school. It has been established that an active policy of attracting pupils with special educational needs to study at secondary schools has been operating in Finland. It has been found that in Germany, the law establishes rules for the inclusion of students with special educational needs in the general education system.

The ideas of the article are based on the high social significance of discussing the practices of inclusive interaction in various spheres of life and ensuring the variability of approaches to the integration of children with special educational needs into the general education system. On the basis of the environmental approach in education, presented in the works of domestic and foreign authors, the basic principles are outlined and the general difficulties of the functioning of inclusive practice at the present stage are identified. The strategy of applying the vector approach to the examination and modeling of the environment of inclusive interaction and designing ways to improve it for the organization of psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process in school is justified. On the basis of the generalized results of the survey of teachers who organize the education of children with disabilities in non-specialized classes, the features and the type of relations that are currently developing in the joint education of schoolchildren with different educational needs during their integration into a single educational space are characterized. Using the methodology of psychological and pedagogical expertise of the school environment, the typification of the most characteristic influences exerted at modern schools on a child with a developmental disorder is carried out. The emerging dominant modality of the educational environment, its orientation to the development of relationships between teachers and peers, based on the priority of stimulating the activity of the individual with different degrees of manifestation of its freedom or dependence, is revealed. The article describes potential capabilities of each of the diagnosed types of environment in terms of its resources for ensuring freedom of choice of activities, stimulating activity, developing students' independence, and forming their personal characteristics. The diagnosed priority of creative and career-oriented orientation allowed us to draw conclusions about the currently established approaches to the inclusion of children with deviant development in the environment of normotypic peers.

Introduction. The article presents the organizational basis for identifying and implementing the special educational needs of students with disabilities in the interdepartmental model of inclusive education. The full implementation of special educational needs (OOP) in the development of vocational education by students with disabilities and disabilities plays a key role for subsequent professional activity. In the inclusive model of the implementation of the OOP of students with disabilities and disabilities, different departmental structures participate, which should effectively interact with each other. Therefore, taking into account the levels of interaction between organizational structures and various activities when identifying and implementing OOP provides a holistic view of the functioning system, and, if necessary, allows for a more targeted impact on the problem links of the model.Materials and Methods. The paper uses the method of content analysis and systematization of scientific and methodological literature, normative legal acts that determine the direction of the organization of the educational environment in the implementation of the OOP of persons with disabilities and disabilities.Results. In the formed interdepartmental model of inclusive education, two levels are considered: the structural level, which is described from the point of view of interaction between state executive authorities and their subordinate organizations, and the functional level, in which the process of forming and implementing the OOP at various stages of the rehabilitation, educational and professional route of students with disabilities and disabilities takes place.Discussion and Conclusions. When considering the procedure for the formation and implementation of the OOP at the functional level of the interdepartmental model, the importance of implementing such processes as career guidance, psychological correction, interaction with non-profit and volunteer organizations, the formation of a professional career, and interaction with the employer is emphasized. The need for unity and interaction of all elements of the model under consideration is emphasized, which will ensure the full implementation of the PLO of persons with disabilities and disabilities and achieve the final result – professional and social integration.

Its success depends on qualitative psychological and pedagogical advisory support services for parents of the children with developmental disorders. It has been found that in the families, who bring up children with developmental disorders, there are specific mutual relations. It highlights the specific features of parents’ perceiving of their urgent inner family situation that touches every family relation structures: emotional, cognitive and behavioral. The mental tension and emotional discomfort are identified to appear clearly in the sphere of emotional reaction of parents of the children with developmental disorders. The cognitive sphere is for perceiving of their family situation as a troubled. Behavioral sphere is characterized by active search for inner and outside psychological and pedagogical advisory support. The types of incorrect family upbringing caused by parents’ deprecation of the fact they have children with developmental disorders (deprecation; hyper care; anxious and distrustful upbringing; non-interference) and its consequences are distinguished. We established that while providing psychological and pedagogical advisory support for parents of the children with developmental disorders it is impossible to be limited by urgent needs and enquiries.

The article analyzes the historical stages of inclusive education in the United States: the first – 1960 – the stage of segregation and marginalization of people with special educational needs, the second (from 1968 to 1975) – the stage of normalization, the idea of involving disabled students in the educational environment, the third stage – educational mainstreaming (1975–1983), the fourth stage – (1983–2004) – inclusive education characterized by joint training of people with special needs with peers using typical development, the fifth –mixed educational system – a comprehensive inclusive education system starting in 2004 and until now in the United States.It was determined that the definition of “special educational needs” (learning disability), means developmental delay, disorder of one or more processes related to speaking, reading, pronunciation, writing or arithmetic abilities as a result of possible cerebral dysfunction, but not in the result of mental disorders, loss of sensitivity, cultural, educational or upbringing factors. It has been found that disorder or disability is not one specific concept, but often a mixture of disorders grouped under one broad term, and inclusive education is seen as “the process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of students by ensuring their participation in learning, cultural activities and community life and reducing exclusion in education and the learning process”. Now intellectual level is determined by using standard intelligence tests, mostly Stanford-Binet, that allows to use individualized curricula as a basis for teaching children with disabilities in inclusive settings. But it is still clear that even in such circumstances, the problems of inclusive education remain to be complex and ambiguous.

Progressive Development

Main problem: Today, the opinion about inclusion as the most progressive (in comparison with integration) approach is being strengthened among the society, which allows any child, regardless of the type and severity of the disorder, to learn with their normatively developing peers. The introduction of inclusive approaches into school practice can be called one of the top priorities of the state educational policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Inclusive education will help to resolve the contradiction between the legally guaranteed rights of children with disabilities to equal access to quality education and the de facto inequality in its implementation. Inclusion must be systematic and focused, not spontaneous. Therefore, it is optimal to teach a child with disabilities within the framework of the system of continuous general education. The creation and effective functioning of this system is impossible without a trained teacher, who is a key figure in the implementation of inclusive education. Purpose: Substantiation and disclosure of the contradiction between the guaranteed right of children with IAD and equal access to quality education for the socialization of children with special educational needs in inclusive education. Methods: in the course of the research, descriptive, systematization and analytical methods were used in the application of theoretical concepts, government programs, and legislative acts in inclusive education. Results and their importance: The implementation of the research goal is facilitated by the use of an alternative to the classroom-based organization of the educational process for the progressive development of children with IAD, which allows them to study harmoniously, regardless of the type and severity of the violation, together with their normatively developing peers. The given pedagogical observation is the obtained practical result of this study. The development of the system of class-based organization of the educational process for children with IAD in educational institutions is aimed at forming an effective system for ensuring the comprehensive development of inclusive education.
