The article is devoted to the issues of improving the administrative and legal regulation of inclusive education in institutions of preschool education and secondary education instituions in Ukraine. Addressing this topic is certainly relevant due to the fact that, firstly, inclusive education is a new institution for Ukrainian society and a real challenge for children, teachers and the legislator. Secondly, in the science of domestic administrative law there is no comprehensive study of Ukrainian sources of law in the field of inclusive education, which would also fully identify the challenges of this field. Thirdly, administrative and legal acts in the field of inclusive education, unfortunately, do not correspond to reality, have gaps in both the field of law and in the field of pedagogy. The authors set themselves the following tasks: to analyze the sources of law governing relations arising in the field of inclusive education in Ukraine; highlight the current challenges of the inclusive education in Ukraine and make suggestions on ways to overcome them. The methodology of this article includes: the method of analysis and synthesis, the systemic and functional approach, the historical method, abstraction, the comparative method, explanations, research interviews, modeling and forecasting methods. So, the authors of the article translated and studied the legislation of the State of Israel as a progressive country in the field of inclusion. To achieve the main goal of the research it was also conducted a survey among the heads of educational institutions in the city of Odessa, where currently inclusive groups or classes are functioning. This has identified challenges such as gaps in the most legally established procedure for opening inclusive groups and classes; providing schools and kindergartens with assistants who should help educators /teachers and children with special educational needs; the question of the number of children with special educational needs in a group or class and the nature of nosologies. Having studied each of the challenges in detail, the authors proposed appropriate changes and additions to the current legislation, which are detailed in the comparative tables. The conclusions of the article can be used both in research work for the further development of Ukrainian administrative law and in national lawmaking by making appropriate changes to Ukrainian legislation and the adoption of relevant legal acts regulating important issues in the field of inclusive education.

There is currently a trend towards an increase in the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in inclusive schools. Thus, the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in inclusive schools is growing. This is caused both by significant changes in the legal regulatory framework, including the 2012 Federal Law on Education, the adoption of the Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education for Children with Special Needs, etc. and by the fact that in some regions the number of specialized schools is decreasing, inclusive education becomes a more affordable option for children with special education needs. School specialists, parents, and the public engage in an active dialogue about choosing the most efficient path for an educational route for special needs children, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of inclusive and special education. The design and implementation of an individual educational route, an individual curriculum is essential for children with special needs in terms of improving the quality of education and efficiently entering social life. The relevance of the study is determined by identifying the components that facilitate and complicate, hinder the development and implementation of an individual educational route for these children in an educational organization; the determination of the content of an individual educational route based on the current situation in a practical institution considering the requirements of inclusive education. The purpose of the study is to explore the problems of developing and implementing individual educational routes for children with special needs in the context of inclusion and to determine ways to solve these problems. The key methods of the study are a questionnaire and a structured interview. The empirical data confirms the assumption that the development and implementation of an individual educational route for children with special needs in an educational organization are problematic and inefficient for several reasons.

Modern theoretical directions in the field of special (correctional) pedagogy allowed us to study the content and technologies of teachers' readiness for correctional and pedagogical activity in the educational process. The priority in teaching children with special educational needs is the introduction of inclusive education into the school system, which is part of general secondary education and includes its accessibility. The main issue in the complex of studies related to vocational education is the readiness of teaching staff to work with children in inclusive education. Today, the necessary reforms in the field of inclusive education in Kazakhstan have a humanistic orientation. Special attention is paid to the education of these children. Monitoring of education reforms in Kazakhstan has revealed persistent negative trends in the physical and mental health of children of all ages. The priority in teaching children with special educational needs is the introduction of inclusive education into the school system, which is part of general secondary education and includes its accessibility. The main issue in the complex of studies related to vocational education is the readiness of teaching staff to work with children in inclusive education. Purpose: to use the experience of special and integrated education as a technological experience of psychological and pedagogical support of participants in the inclusive educational process. Methods: we used technological maps (created by a teacher for a student), methods of cooperation and methods of joint group learning, methods of mutual learning, method of psychological comfort, methods of teaching social skills, adaptive technologies, accessible digital media, additional communication technologies, technologies for special training and development techniques and methods of "barrier-free environment" ramps, single-storey schools, the introduction of sign language translators, etc. The results, their significance: Our research has shown at the moment that there is also a positive attitude towards access to education for children with special educational needs who have difficulties with motor skills, as well as hearing, speech or vision. The analysis showed that children with musculoskeletal disorders find quick contact with the environment (12,4 %), as well as children with intellectual disabilities - with mental retardation (12,9 %). Hearing and visual impairments are rare among respondents (9,1 %), more children with external impairments (40.5). Thus, 70% of respondents learned about the problem of disability of their children. Only a third of the students at the school had experience and access to communication with a disabled child, who, in our opinion, is not familiar with institutional constraints, especially in the education system.

There are approximately 800 million young children worldwide affected by biological, environmental and psychosocial conditions that can limit their cognitive development. In Europe, recent estimates place the number of children with special educational needs (SEN) at 15 million. Conservative estimates state that dyslexia, a learning disability that impedes a person’s ability to read, affects approximately 6 percent of Europe’s population, whilst the prevalence of autistic spectrum disorders is also estimated to be higher than previously thought. Children with SEN frequently leave school with few qualifications and are much more likely to become unemployed or economically inactive. Children with SEN are children first and have much in common with other children of the same age. There are many aspects to a child’s development that make up the whole child, including-personality, the ability to communicate (verbal and non-verbal), resilience and strength, the ability to appreciate and enjoy life and the desire to learn. Each child has individual strengths, personality and experiences so particular disabilities will impact differently on individual children. A child’s special educational need should not define the whole child. Presented paper briefly introduces different categories of special educational needs and subsequently describies inclusive education as a concept potentially successful for their academic and vocational performance.
