In this article we study the main goals, objectives, functions and mechanisms of social psychological support of students with disabilities and special needs in higher education. We describe the experience in providing such support at the Department of Distance Learning of the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education. We show that social psychological support of students with disabilities is a specially organized process involving the creation of an optimally accessible and nurturing environment which contributes to the development of general cultural, professional competencies as well as to healthy personality development in individuals. Macro social, psychological and pedagogical features of the environment play a key role in social psychological support. Psychological and educational support of students with disabilities involves several types of assistance, each with its own tasks and features, however only the optimal combination of these forms embodies social psychological support as a whole.

The educational research literature has promoted integrating students with disabilities into mainstream classrooms since the 1970s. In 2007, the Japanese government amended the School Educational Law, which has increased the number of educational opportunities available to students with disabilities. At the same time, the Japanese education system is, increasingly, following the global trend of promoting English as a foreign language (EFL) education at every level of the education system. There are approximately 1.64 million visually impaired people in Japan. Of these, an estimated 187,800 are blind. Even as the disability rights movement in Japan advances its agenda of barrier-free access, the processes through which blind students learn (and can be taught) foreign languages has not been well described within the broader educational community. In this paper, I will present the results of an interview study conducted with student and teacher participants at a school for the visually impaired in Japan. In this study, I sought to address two research foci: 1) what best practices can support teachers in conducting classes with visually impaired students; and 2) how visually impaired students relate to and engage with their EFL classes. Through my analysis of the interview data, I identified three core themes: a) the importance of targeted needs analysis; b) the centrality of braille for equity and access; and c) a tension between traditional educational support systems for visually impaired students in Japan, and what contemporary students increasingly need.

School is an important element in the reality of a young human. In its space a student spends a large part of his daily life. The school, aware of its importance, is trying to best fulfill this tasks. Particular role is played in the case of a student with a disability, whose functioning is inherently inhibited. Students with intellectual disabilities are based in a very bad position, what is shown in the presented diagnosis. The diagnosis was carried out in the area of qualitative research the individual case method using an interview technique was applied. The principles of relational diagnosis were referred to. 13-years old Mateusz, a student of fourth grade of elementary integration school, with intellectual disability at light level was interviewed. The research material was enriched with interviews with the boy's mother and his tutor, a Maths teacher. The students areas of functioning at the school were analyzed in basics: task-based functioning, relations with adults and colleagues and his self image. The diagnosis shows unfavorable situation of the boy at school. There is disorder in all areas his functioning (according relations between the subject and the adults at the school are relatively most favorable). The boy cannot cope with task situations as a student and friend. Although he attends the integration class he does not feel a full member, his colleague relationships are poor and often disorderly. He does not like to go to school, he cannot cope with study, he has low self-esteem. The causes of this state should be seen in intellectual disability and unfortunately in school environment deficiencies. In order to improve the situation, changes are necessary both in the education of students with disabilities, assistance provided to them, as well as in educational support for the social integration of students with disabilities. Without appropriate actions, these students are doomed to school failure, to the threat of social exclusion.

The educational response to students with specific needs for educational support associated with disability could not be understood within the current educational landscape without addressing how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is used within those responses. ICT support is not a matter of fashion or one-off use due to the current circumstances brought about by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Programmes and materials are already being developed to enable such application. Even from the Universal Learning Design approaches, it is precisely the use of technologies in learning processes, with special emphasis on educational inclusion processes, which are a key focus. This study deals with the perception that teachers have of this use of ICT with students with disabilities: How are the resources available to them and how good is their training in this respect? To do this, a section of a questionnaire was used, which forms part of the R + D + I project awarded under a national call in Spain, and which in one of its categories precisely focuses attention on this use of ICT. In turn, this category, according to the confirmatory factor analysis carried out, is subdivided into three subcategories: didactic use, spaces and resources, and finally teacher training. We are also interested in knowing if there are differences of opinion between population groups grouped according to sex, ownership of the education centre and location of the centre (urban, or rural). The results indicate that although there is good use and good preparation of teachers, the level of resources is low and teacher training needs to be reinforced.

The issues surrounding the school organization are important for the inclusion process. It is essential to prepare the schools and people who work at them because it contributes to the social and cognitive development of the students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This qualitative research uses collaborative-critical action research as the methodology. The aim of this paper is to analyze the school routine for the attendance of an autistic child. This research was done at regular schools they were weekly visited for twelve months. This study allowed the author to conclude that there is a concern about architectural issues and the absence of prior planning to carry out the pedagogical practices, when the students get in the school or when they leave. The educational process of students with disabilities is evidenced by the problems they face. There is no school organization to provide educational support and contribute to student’s development.


In the time of higher education modernization, which is focused on individual trajectories and the formation of personality on the basis of its capabilities and abilities, a new role is acquired by a new type of activity – tutoring. In European leading countries, this type of support for people with disabilities has proven its effectiveness, but in Ukraine it is not widely known. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the psychological readiness in young students to become tuitors for people with disabilities. The sample was consisted of 68 students O.M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv. The research has shown that tutoring is a new and exciting phenomenon that gives students the opportunity to experience mentoring, including students with disabilities. At the same time, psychological readiness for such activities is at a low level, which is caused by the insufficient level of awareness of functional responsibilities of a tutor, a clear ultimate goal, and so on. There are four factors in the structure of psychological readiness for tutoring students with disabilities: “Prosocial Orientation to Help”, “Academic Orientation”, “Social Intuition” and “Communicative Competence”. Given the psychological characteristics of students with disabilities, their support should be significantly different from the educational support of relatively healthy students. The data obtained can be included in the development of a comprehensive program to study the psychological readiness for tutoring people with disabilities.

This article describes the regional experience of teaching students with disabilities in a multidisciplinary university. Analysis of resources and algorithms of educational support provided at the university creates the opportunity to share this experience and to evaluate its significance for the development of higher inclusive education, as well as to assess the perspectives for its application in similar educational environments. Consulting, education, coordination and rehabilitation services are the main forms of assistance to students and teachers at all stages of education and socialization of people with disabilities. The university has a department that provides support to students with disabilities and their teachers. The analysis of the successes and challenges of higher education of persons with disabilities shows that there is an objective need to unite the efforts of the university with the regional non-governmental organizations and the authorities of the region, with health care, education and social services in order to support young people with disabilities.
