The article examines the current state and problems of inclusive education in Kazakhstan, reveals the possibilities of inclusive education in the development of children with disabilities, suggests methods of psychological and pedagogical correction of professionally significant qualities of teacher skills necessary for working with children with special educational needs. Inclusive education requires constant creative contribution from everyone; all its participants (teachers, parents, children, administration, etc.) are involved in the creative process of education. For the successful implementation of inclusive education of children with special needs, changes in the education system itself are needed. The difficulty in solving the problem of working with children with disabilities is exacerbated by the professional incompetence of specialists of educational institutions, a lack of understanding in society of the possibilities of such children, who participate equally in society.

The article considers the preconditions that contributed to the development of leisure activities for children with special educational needs in out-of-school educational institutions. The preconditions include: the formation in the public consciousness of the view on the importance of leisure as a sphere of self-realization of the individual; availability of a global international educational policy on positive and constructive approaches to the education of children with special educational needs; availability of historical experience in the development of models for providing education to such children in out-of-school education institutions; the presence of a community of democracies formed in the public consciousness regarding the humanistic paradigm of inclusive education; the influence of the national pedagogical heritage and the existence of an extensive network of out-of-school educational institutions at the time of Ukraine's independence. The inclusive model is defined as bringing together all participants in the educational process, including the gifted, the disabled, the socially maladapted, children from vulnerable places, children from poverty and destitution, children from national minorities and children from immigrants. It is proved that the inclusive paradigm is not aimed at adapting the individual to social, social, economic relations, but on the contrary to the restructuring of the entire system of mass education to meet the educational needs of children with special educational needs. This innovative approach promotes the development of leisure activities for children with special educational needs in out-of-school education institutions. The author's definition of the term "inclusive extracurricular education" is considered as an innovative paradigm of educational relations, which focuses on humane treatment of children with special educational needs, excludes any discrimination aimed at social inclusion of children in extracurricular educational space and their social communication.

The presence of soft skills (generic competencies) in pre-school education programs is now not elective but a compulsory. Moreover, it is imposing in the context of the dynamic development of the labor market and the search for effective approaches to their early childhood development. Unlike knowledge and specific professional skills, portable skills can never be "out of use." On the contrary, every social situation benefits from them and enriches them. They are the "common language" between employers and educational institutions because they contain the factors that create the good rating of educational services. The formation of these important personal skills should start from an early age and important factors are the family, community, social and especially educational institutions with which the child interacts. In the process of inclusive education of children with special educational needs, there are various concerns for all participants in the process, which put barriers and reduce the chances of success in bringing the child into the kindergarten. Overcoming these concerns can be accomplished by motivating all participants in inclusive education. There are many researches, strategies and techniques for motivating adults (pedagogues, parents, etc.) in this process. But there are not enough studies and models to motivate children with special educational needs. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out the possibilities of forming this transferable skills in pre-school children participating in inclusive education as an activity that meets one of the objectives set out in the Pre-school and School Education Act, namely - competences to understand and apply the principles, rules, responsibilities and rights that result from membership in the European Union.

The key issue of this article is inclusive education in connection with the formal and legal aspects of students’ safety when they are staying in educational institutions. In the first part, author describes the basic assumptions of the social model of education and it’s international conditions, also referring to solutions that have been recently implemented in the Polish education system. The second part indicates the problems that may be met by educational institutions and teachers trying to achieve a state of full inclusion. They relate to the school’s caring function in terms of security guarantees. The diversity of student population, especially wide range of educational needs may make it impossible for teachers to develop specific approach to individual pupil. It’s caused by formal items, largely determined by the financial situation of particular local government units.

Choosing an educational system for a disabled child already at the stage of pre-school education is a difficult and stressful experience for parents, which regardless of the final decision, raises many doubts. Certain questions arise: ‘where there is a place in the education system for the child with a disability certificate?’, ‘where the child can develop best?’, but also ‘where the child simply feels happy and does not experience exclusion?’. Many things depend on the level of the child’s disability, on key choices made by parents, and on the quality of cooperation, both in the three-way parent-therapist-child relationship, but also in the two-way parent-child and therapist-child relationships. Parents more and more often make decisions about inclusive education, where a child can develop amongst non-disabled peers. This article focuses primarily on the role of parents and therapists in the process of including a disabled child in the education system, the potential of cooperation, but also the fears, difficulties and expectations accompanying both sides.

The purpose of this study is to identify how primary school teachers understand the importance of inclusive education and the benefits of the collaboration between the class teachers and the support teachers. In order to identify the social representations of primary school teachers regarding the cooperation with the support teachers, we have used a questionnaire-based inquiry. We have organised the data into a case study at the level of primary school education. The responses to the open questions offered by the investigated teachers allowed a dramaturgical approach to the roles and the responsibilities of the actors in special education. Our results enhance the benefits of integration of students with special educational needs in the conditions of a distributed responsibility between parents, class teachers and support teachers. Therefore, the qualitative analysis of the written responses of primary school teachers reveals the need of continuous training in aspects related to special educational needs. Keywords: Special educational needs, support teachers, primary school education.

The article provides a classification of pedagogical conditions of realization of inclusive education in the higher education system and their analysis in six universities in Moscow. The study involved 212 students from 1 to 4 year studying in different majors and levels of training. The study was conducted by surveying. To study the teaching conditions two groups were identified in a contingent of students: students with disabilities, and without deviations in health. For the analysis of the data we used correlation and factor analysis. The results of the study confirmed the theoretical structure of the classification and showed differences in the estimates of pedagogical conditions of implementation of inclusive education of students with disabilities, and without them. The theoretical framework for the analysis and classification can be used in practice for the study of pedagogical conditions of implementation of inclusive education in educational institutions of different tupes.

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. Keywords: special educational needs, children with disabilities, inclusive environment, inclusion, child with special educational needs, inclusive education, state acts, US general education system.

The study is an attempt at characterizing the theoretical assumptions concerning the collaboration of teachers and parents which are implemented in the space of school. What is outlined in the article is the cooperation in the space of the Polish community living abroad in the culturally diversified environment. The proper functioning of school depends on cooperation between teachers, students and parents. The effectiveness of the cooperation of parents and teachers is determined by many complex factors. In this study, the principles and problems are brought closer that arise from asymmetric positioning of educational subjects (students, teachers and parents), which generates different needs and ideas in mutual cooperation. This is exemplified here by the Polish-language school education system, whose activity reflects the needs and possibilities of the Polish communities in culturally heterogeneous European environments in the creation and functioning of Polish-speaking educational institutions and the involvement of the community gathered around these schools.
