The article is devoted to the problem of compliance of special education teachers training in Ukraine with the implementation of inclusive education in accordance with international standards. It was found that despite many years of inclusive policy experience in Ukraine, inclusive practice is not implemented properly. The assumptions about gaps in the staffing of inclusive education are made. The level of professional readiness among future special education teachers for practice in inclusive educational environment is investigated and analyzed in the article. The comprehensive questionnaire developed by the authors was used as a diagnostic tool in current study. The questionnaire was designed in accordance with the content of such educational guidelines as the “Professional Development Tool for Improving the Quality of Work of Primary School Teachers” and the “Profile of Inclusive Teachers”. The main professional readiness criteria for practice in inclusive educational environment among future teachers are defined: Interactions; Family and Community; Inclusion, Diversity, and Values of Democracy; Assessment and Planning; Teaching Strategies; Learning Environment; Professional Development. The developed questionnaire is aimed to identify the level of development of different professional readiness components, such as: theoretical-cognitive and practical-active. The results showed low and medium levels of professional readiness for practice in inclusive educational environment among future special education teachers, that is insufficient to meet the social demand for training specialists to work in the new professional conditions of inclusive education.Correlation analysis revealed the leading role of the practical-active component in the system of professional training, which require increased attention to its practical component, based on both university practical training centers and pedagogical internship. The current study concludes on the necessity of transformation of professional training content for future special education teachers in accordance with international scientific achievements in the field of providing quality services to children with special educational needs.

The article deals with the problems of inclusive education in higher education institutions. Inclusive education is the basis and the most effective form of qualitative education for people with special needs. An important component of the inclusive approach is psychological and pedagogical provision of inclusive education in the HEI as an organized system aimed at the development of all components of the personal potential of the subjects of the educational process, regardless of their capabilities: reflexive, cognitive, and activity. The state policy and policy of the Higher School for the Development of Inclusive Education should be aimed not only at motivating people with disabilities to higher education, but also to consider the factors of the social environment and their impact on the development of higher education in general. So, developing an inclusive educational environment, is acquired by students who have a serious motivation for vocational training, their potential capabilities and abilities are often higher than the average student. As a result, after a long time the state receives not just a qualified specialist, but, above all, a motivated professional. In the conditions of the demographic decline of certain periods of development of society, when the HEI attracts a large number of students, including the so-called unpopular specialties. Inclusive education has a broad social dimension, since not only the higher school should be inclusive, but our society, with the support of the state, business and public organizations, should be inclusive. Inclusive education, being one of the main forms of realization of the right to education for persons with disabilities, should become a legally-established institution that has all the necessary components, from the preparation of the complete package of regulatory documents, the definition of norms and principles of appropriate funding, mechanisms for the creation of special conditions and principles of adaptation of the educational environment for students with special educational needs

Introduction: According to statistics, the number of students with disability at Lviv Polytechnic National University is 374 people; the number of veteran-students is 6; the number of students-children of veterans is 811. Moreover, there is a Ukraine-Norway Project conducted on the basis of Lviv Polytechnic providing retraining courses for veterans and their family members. In the five years of the project implementation, 428 people have been trained at Lviv Polytechnic. To meet the educational needs of those categories of students the Accessibility Services for students with disability and Veteran Services for combatants, their family members and IDPs have been established at Lviv Polytechnic. The activities of those services are aimed at providing support to students with disability, veteran students, students-family members of veterans, internally displaced persons; ensuring the provision of necessary information and assistance in higher education settings. For the successful functioning of these and similar services, it is important to study the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the trauma-informed approach (TIA). Furthermore, the realities of Ukrainian society give impetus to the experience of traumatic events not only to the above-mentioned categories of students, but also to others who do not belong to them. Therefore, it is advisable to comprehensively study and implement the trauma-informed approach in the educational process to ensure inclusive education environment for each category of students with special educational needs. Purpose: The purpose of the article is to highlight the importance of the development of trauma-informed approach to meet the needs of students experiencing trauma, students with disabilities and veteran-students particularly. Methods: Theoretical research methods were used to determine the needs of students experiencing trauma to be met in educational process using the trauma-informed approach at higher schools of Ukraine on the example of Accessibility and Veteran Services at Lviv Polytechnic. Results: Inclusive education has been considered as a part of social inclusion. Key issues of the development of inclusive education environment are addressed based on applying trauma-informed approach. The purpose to implement a trauma-informed approach in academic environment is identified based on scientific research data and needs assessment. The two basic concepts of trauma-informed approach realization have been developed. For the first time in the national scientific opinion the possibilities of implementing an inclusive educational environment in the higher education institutions of Ukraine, taking into account the needs and problems of students experiencing trauma were described. During the educational process, the trauma-informed approach is important to be used when detecting the following symptoms: limited ability to focus, anxious or obsessive thoughts, inability to consistently do research and attend classes, panic attacks with difficulty of breathing, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and deep agitation of short and / or long-term memory, fatigue, decreased concentration and attention, lack of initiative and motivation, irritability and increased sensitivity to stress, inappropriate behavior and poor social skills, slow response rates, difficulty in solving problems, difficulties in planning and sequencing, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem, impulsiveness, loss of taste and smell, dizziness and difficulty with balance, epilepsy and convulsions, headaches, decrease or change in vision, chronic pain, paralysis, difficulty in reading and summarizing (processing information).  Some of these characteristics are very individual, others are the opposite, and are noticeable at once. That is why it is important to disseminate information among the academic community. At the same time, the above-mentioned attributes not only to students who are experiencing/have experienced trauma, but also may concern students with mental health disorders, which in turn make it possible to create an inclusive educational environment tailored to these categories of students as well.  It is important to understand that a student with special educational needs has the same responsibilities as all other students. It is to attend classes and fulfill the basic requirements of the course. The role of the instructor is to help the student in finding solutions to fulfill these responsibilities, not to lower expectations because of the student's special educational needs, abide by the principles of confidentiality regarding the personal information of the student with special educational needs. To address the above need, we plan to carry out further research in this field in relation to the practical work of the “No Limits” Accessibility Services and the Veteran Services at Lviv Polytechnic, taking into account the international experience, with a focus on the American and Canadian approaches. Conclusion: To achieve the research goal and objectives in creating the environment friendly to people in difficult life circumstances the trauma-informed approach to providing educational services is suggested to be implemented. In the practice of trauma-informed approach realization, the two foci are distinguished, i.e., achieving personal development and wellness of the students experiencing trauma via special services provided for them (by Students Accessibility Services and Veteran Services at Lviv Polytechnic) and transforming the environment through educational work with the University academic community

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.

Abstract. The article analyzes the teachers᾿ readiness to work in field of inclusive education. It is emphasized that in the context of educational reforms, the question of the feasibility of introducing inclusive education has become acute. This involves educating children with disabilities in comprehensive schools and kindergartens ‒ together with peers who are developing normally. According to the content of the modern national education model, it is assumed that the number of people with disabilities who get educational services in public institutions will increase. At the same time, in accordance with the national action strategy in the interests of children, it is planned to reduce the number of children with disabilities who remained outside the education system, for some objective reasons. Accordingly, it requires new demands on teachers, requires the expansion of their functional responsibilities, changes in professionally significant and personal characteristics. Modern society makes new demands on teachers ‒ the willingness and ability to teach all children without exceptions, regardless of their inclinations, abilities and disabilities. At the same time, the widespread use of a new category of children in kindergartens and secondary schools has led to changes in the teachers᾿ working conditions. The range of teachers᾿ pedagogical interests has significantly expanded. There is a social demand for updating the content of professional training, which includes issues of inclusive education. As a result of the conducted empirical research showed mostly the average, and also low readiness level for work in the inclusive education conditions. The respondents revealed interest in the education problems and raising children with disabilities together with their healthy peers, but just a small number of teachers are willing to work in these conditions. The reason is the lack of knowledges about the peculiarities of the children development, their special educational needs and the pace of progress in the educational process.

The article outlines the relevance of the introduction of inclusive education in the system of education of Ukraine whose success depends on the organizational and pedagogical and corrective and developmental school conditions, flexibly oriented on the individual characteristics of each child and qualitative training of future teachers to professional activities in the conditions of inclusive education. Separate aspects of professional training of future teachers in institutions of higher pedagogical education in conditions of inclusive education are presented. In particular, attention is focused on the peculiarities of organizing the process of training future educators in professional activities in the inclusive environment of institutions of general secondary education, which are that the professionalization of students takes place in the form of penetration of external (the influence of the educational environment and the participants of the educational process) into the internal (assignment of values Inclusive education and acquisition of relevant competence), from the remote space (social meaning of inclusion) in the approximate (personal meaning and Inclusion experience). In accordance with the principle of continuity, the stages of organizing the process of preparation of future teachers to professional activity in conditions of inclusive education (motivational-value, theoretical and practical and simulation-reflexive) are determined and substantiated. Evaluating the efforts of scientists in the highlighted issues, we note that the organization of the process of professional pedagogical training of teachers to work in an inclusive educational environment requires the substantiation of the relevant pedagogical conditions, which is a prospect of further scientific search.
