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.

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.

The authors of the article emphasize the need to form an effective system of higher education that would meet national interests and global development trends, provide training, as well as equal rights and opportunities for all actors in the educational process, including people with special educational needs. After all, the main goal of inclusive higher education is not only to eliminate barriers to access of students with special educational needs to the development of their natural potential, but also to enable them to achieve maximum independence, competence, competitiveness as necessary qualities and prerequisites for effective self-realization. It is proved that the effectiveness of the process of optimization of education and upbringing of students with special needs in higher education institutions depends on a set of organizational and pedagogical aspects. The first organizational and pedagogical aspect is the formation of a high level of readiness of teachers to carry out activities aimed at optimizing the teaching and education of students with special needs in higher education institutions. The second aspect of optimizing the education and upbringing of students with special needs is the development and implementation of a program of full inclusion of people with special educational needs in the educational process of higher education institutions. It provides primarily semantic and methodological support of this process on the basis of a holistic system approach. The third aspect optimization of education and upbringing of students with special needs is the formation of the educational space of higher education institution tolerant to the inclusion of people with special educational needs.

This article considers the implementation of the right to higher education for learners with special needs in Lithuania. Although this right is guaranteed by various international documents and national legal acts, the main responsibility to ensure equality in higher education for all learners is embedded in the discretion of higher education institutions. The aim of this article is to analyse Lithuanian legal regulation regarding inclusion of students with special needs into higher education institutions and to evaluate Lithuanian university policies, as institutional documents, concerning students with special educational needs. A brief overview and comparison of all Lithuanian HEI policies illustrates the institutional approach towards educating students with SEN and the level of attentiveness to realization of their right to education. The research also considers pivotal challenges of ensuring inclusive education for those students as well as presents recommendations to address these challenges.

Introduction. The introduction of inclusive education into the practice of university education is a complicated and multi-aspect process accompanied by a complex of problems, including the problems of a legal nature. The solution of these problems is one of key tasks faced by the education system of Russia.The aim of the present research is to reveal and describe normative and legal barriers in the system of inclusive higher education, withdrawing the equal rights for education for all students regardless of their physical status and health.Methodology and research methods. The methods involve the analysis of legal and regulatory acts, regulating the orders and conditions of inclusive education at higher school. Russian and foreign literature on different aspects of inclusive education in higher school was reviewed, generalised and sistematised. The modelling method was employed.Results. On the basis of the existing legal norms, the reflection of the analysed materials made it possible to model the system of interaction between the participants of inclusive educational process – people with disabilities (HIA) and educational organisations. The constructed “theoretical” model allowed the authors to diagnose inclusion in higher education and to identify weaknesses in the provisions, which regulate the education of people with disabilities. Certain contradictions were found in the legal field of relations between these categories of students and educational institutions. The attention is drawn to the fact that in today’s Russia the system of spesialised support for universities and for students with special needs is being formed, including resource training centres. However, these structures need to determine their place and status in the field of educational rights.Scientific novelty. The authors firstly formulate the legal barriers, impeding the continuity of psychological medico-pedagogical support for students with disabilities. The conclusion is reached concerning the signs of discrimination in the rights of students with special educational needs and the urgent need for improved higher inclusive education, including the optimisation at the level of legislative regulation.Practical significance. The authors believe that introduction of changes into normative regulations with the purpose to provide equal rights and opportunities for receiving education by all citizens will contribute to more dynamic and orderly development of university inclusion in Russia and will help people with health disabilities to become full members of society.

The article defines the components of the formation of social competence in children with special educational needs by means of ICT and the peculiarities of the use of information and computer technologies in the education and education of children with special needs from the point of view of compensation of physical disabilities with the help of modern technical means. The legal framework for inclusive education of children with special needs analyzed and the existing technical developments of media applications for the development of children with different nosology's are examined. The current stage of development of special pedagogy and psychology is determined by the search for new ways of social adaptation of children with special educational needs with ICT. Significant progress in the socialization of a child with special educational needs can only achieved with the active involvement of the family, namely parents. The introduction of inclusive education in modern educational institutions, which involves the involvement of parents as active participants in the educational process in the adaptation of children to the requirements of modern society, there is a need for active study of a family raising a child with special needs. Parents' psychological maturity, family ideals, social communication experiences are often crucial in the development of a child with a specific nosology, and ICT tools only facilitate and assist in this variety of technical developments. Formation and development of children with special educational needs of social, information, digital competence by means of ICT is an important component of socialization of the individual. The process of developing social competence in children with special needs with modern ICT tools should include the development of technical programs aimed at ensuring the full development and socialization of the individual, ready for productive interaction with the environment in public life.

The article examines organizational issues of the inclusive education implementation in Ukraine. The level of the society civilized development depends on its attitude to humans as the highest value based on respect, tolerance, a sympathetic treatment of everyone, and especially of people with special needs. The study argues that inclusion in Ukraine is being implemented in accordance with the international standards and universal values. Emphasis is placed on the «child-centered» education system, where a holistic approach dominates. It ensures the realization of equal rights and opportunities for everyone and provides equal access to quality education. The main terms for the strategy development from institutionalization to inclusion are: ensuring the right and possibility to choose an educational institution and curriculum according to child’s individual characteristics; implementing children’s achievement stimulation in various fields of activity; ensuring their socio-pedagogical protection, recognition of their rights and freedoms; inclusive competence of the scientific and pedagogical workers and applicants. Inclusive higher education ought to be developed on the principles of dialogue in the framework of partnership pedagogy, subject-subject relationships within a healthy educational environment, and the principles of coexistence, mutual sovereignty, free co-development, unity, and decision-making. The article provides scientifically-grounded information about the main components of teacher training necessary for working with students with special educational needs (motivational, cognitive, creative, activity-based), the principles of teachers’ activity aimed at ensuring the effectiveness of the correctional and developmental measures. The emphasis is laid on the analysis of the system of correctional, preventive, and developmental tasks, unity of diagnosis and corrective measures, corrective methods, the set of psychological influence methods, taking into account the age and individual characteristics of students, and active involvement of the immediate social environment. Among the most important issues highlighted in the article are the problems occurring during the organization of inclusive education and its support. The study findings substantiate the significance of the preventive measures system helping to increase the efficiency of the corrective work during the inclusive education implementation at higher education institutions. An inclusive model of educational space implies a comprehensive approach that includes a system of educational services, namely an adaptation of curricula and plans, physical environment, innovative teaching methods and forms, use of the existing social resources, the involvement of parents, and cooperation with specialists to provide qualified services to people with special educational needs, and creating a comfortable educational environment. The main idea of the inclusive approach to education is that it is not the individual, who should adapt to social or social-economic relations, but society should create suitable conditions to meet the special needs of each and every individual.

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.
