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.

The article describes the prerequisites for the creation and implementation of an inclusive educational environment in higher education settings in Ukraine. Contradictions have been identified between the legal framework governing higher education for students with special educational needs and the lack of appropriate physical and psychological conditions for the realization of the right to education, and the contradiction between the existence of a tendency to integrate the educational process and the need to individualize the educational process. It is determined that the state of development of inclusive education in Ukraine is characterized by insufficient development of both social and acmeological mechanisms of interaction of key figures of the educational process. The types of inclusive education implemented by higher education institutions are described. The experience of implementation of inclusive educational policy at Lviv Polytechnic National University and the University "Ukraine" is considered. The author's development of the model of acmeological interaction of participants of the inclusive process in the inclusive educational environment is presented, and the criteria and indicators of evaluation of the interaction of the participants of the inclusive process in the inclusive educational environment are explained. It was found that a serious obstacle to the introduction of inclusive higher education in Ukraine is the lack of financial capacity of universities: there is no equipped environment, there are no special programs aimed at such education. Conclusions are made regarding the importance of acmeological interaction of participants in the inclusive process in an inclusive educational environment, which is not only to improve the situation of students with special educational needs but also to create positive aspects of social development in general.

Authors of the study analyze key characteristics of tutor support for students with special educational needs in the context of inclusive education. An activity model of tutor support based on the analysis of foreign and domestic research is proposed. The main goal of presented model is to create conditions for the development of active position of the individual. Individual cases of tutor support for students with autism spectrum disorders and behavioral and mental characteristics that determine various difficulties of their inclusion in the educational process are considered in the article. Due to the mentioned aspects, the problem of tutor support is actualized. Case analysis shows the relevance of a tutor's work within the framework of an activity-based approach to provide conditions for the development of a conscious involvement of students in the educational process as well as the development of an active position. Present situation requires additional research.

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.

Today, one of the priorities of the Ukrainian state policy in the field of education is the creation of a universal barrier-free environment, barrier- free education, which makes it impossible to ensure the full inclusion of children with special educational needs in the educational process. The current situation in the modern education system is characterized by processes of modernization in all its structural components in particular it concerns educational standards, educational programs, principles of interaction of participants of the educational process, principles of organization of the educational environment, etc. The basis of inclusive education is to take into account the individual characteristics of children, the diversity of their educational needs, opportunities, and interests. Therefore, there is a need to change working methods, forms and technologies.

An interdisciplinary study examines the problems of implementing the concept of inclusive education in the education system of the Republic of Tatarstan. An urgent problem is the lack of training of teachers of General education organizations to work with children with disabilities who have special educational needs, which makes it necessary to form professional competencies of teachers related to the development of the ability to design and implement innovative technologies of educational and correctional work aimed at achieving educational results. The purpose of the study was to identify the opinions of teachers about the difficulties of implementing the concept of inclusive education in the national educational system and their readiness to be active in the new conditions. The object of the author's research was chosen pedagogical discourse. Written works (essays) of primary school teachers and subject teachers were used as a communication space reflecting pedagogical discourse. Discourse analysis was used as the main research method. The results of the analysis of pedagogical discourse confirmed the research hypothesis about the lack of training of teachers of the General education system to work with children with disabilities and indicate that the common problem of all teachers is the lack of positive motivation to work; lack of special knowledge about the organization of the educational process; practical skills necessary to work with children with special educational needs. The research data presented in the article give grounds to say that the Republican education system should create conditions for the development of inclusive practices using the network interaction of educational organizations, health and social protection institutions, constant methodological support for teachers, innovative teaching experience.

Problem setting. The modern world is characterized by rapid changes towards democracy, which have a positive impact on the humanitarian component of society. Education reforms are affected by many negative factors, including unstable political and economic situation in the country, and 2020 introduced the concept of “pandemic learning” into the educational process, which certainly did not improve the overall situation. However, despite these problems in the field of education, the issue of involvement of children with mental and physical disabilities into the educational environment of Ukraine remains extremely important. This trend of integration of children with mental and physical disabilities into the educational environment is relevant around the world, but in Ukraine attention has been paid and appropriate steps has been taken to improve the critical educational situation for this category of children only in the last few years. Also, the Association Agreement with the EU, which came into force in 2017, prompted the government to take certain steps for political, economic, social and cultural reforming of all spheres of life that affect the quality of provision and receipt of educational services. Recent research and publications analysis. Elaboration of theoretical and methodical basics of inclusive education can be found in the works by: N. Bastun, S. Bohdanova, L. Zdanevych, T. Zubarieva, E. Ketrysh, T. Kozhekina, K. Kolchenko, O. Kuzmina, T. Kuchai, N. Lalak, O. Lesher, O. Martynova, G. Onykovych, M. Semago, N. Semago, I. Smirnova, N. Sofiy, M. Tomchuk, N. Shmatko, O. Yarska-Smirnova, etc.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Analysis of current legislation and scientific literature allows us to conclude that inclusive education in Ukraine opens up great opportunities for children/people with special educational needs, but is not explored fully. These sources emphasize that creation of optimal conditions for qualitative education for children with mental and physical disabilities has its social, economic and psychological characteristics and problems, which are quite complex and require further research and development. That is why there is a need to work systematically and purposefully on introduction of inclusive process in educational institutions to implement the right to education of every citizen of Ukraine. Paper main body. The article considers specific features of introduction of inclusive education in Ukraine in the context of European integration. Dynamics of implementation of inclusive education in the context of education system reform is analyzed. Components of preparation to implementation of the inclusion process both for teachers and for children with special educational needs and main problems of the educational environment were considered. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Analysis of development of inclusive education in Ukraine indicates a positive trend in the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in comprehensive schools, as indicated by the dynamics from 2720 pupils in the 2015 – 2016 school year to 18643 pupils in the 2019 – 2020 school year. Opening of 638 inclusive resource centers is an important step towards introduction of inclusive education not only in big cities but also in the regions. However, existing economic (ensuring architectural accessibility of interiors, accessibility of appropriate transport and transport infrastructure for children/persons with mental and physical disabilities, campuses, sports and cultural facilities, dormitories, etc.) and social (complex process of socialization both for children with special educational needs (as well as their family members) and for relatively healthy children; change of psychological and value attitudes of teachers and increase of their professional competencies in an inclusive form of education, etc.) problems are complicated by partial or complete distance learning during a pandemic, and solving these problems will facilitate the reception of educational services by the specified category of citizens of Ukraine.
