Person with disabilities who are referred to as disabled people, are often regarded as unproductive citizens, unable to carry out their duties and responsibilities so that their rights are ignored. About 15 percent of the world's population are people with disabilities - more than one billion people. They are considered the largest minority group in the world. Persons with disabilities are often excluded from education, vocational training and employment opportunities. In reality, there are not many public facilities or special services provided to persons with disabilities. One of them is in the aspect of education. In public facilities, namely education, there are not many education buildings or educational providers that have facilities and infrastructure that can support people with disabilities. As for mobility equipment that can help people with disabilities on both legs, namely crutches, walking sticks, walkers, and wheelchairs that aim to help and facilitate their mobility. But the wheelchair that is available in the market today only has a limited function of moving left, right, and spinning, the function can not be maximized to help the movement of persons with disabilities there are some activities that cannot be done such as reaching higher objects, moving the body from a wheelchair to another seat, through the stairs / steps. Therefore we need a product design that starts from the preparation of product concepts from old products that will be modified into a new product to meet the needs of the market / people with disabilities.

As we know, there are many fields of pedagogical science. One of the most important areas is special pedagogy. Special pedagogy studies the issues of education and upbringing of children with physical and mental disabilities. People with disabilities are those who are relatively disabled in terms of any part of the body or the brain. In our country, special attention is paid to the education of people with disabilities. Inclusive education creates conditions for the protection of social equality, education and other special needs of children with disabilities. According to the teaching methodology, inclusive education prevents discrimination against children, allows people with various diseases to get a perfect education and succeed. Its main task is to create an environment for vocational training of people with disabilities. In modern times, people with disabilities should not be seen as sick, but as people with disabilities. This shapes the social approach to disability. The social model allows these children to exercise their rights to develop their skills. The purpose of inclusive physical education is to teach students to move together, which promotes the improvement and development of human psychophysical abilities. Different exercises should be chosen for each lesson and combined in such a way as to have a comprehensive effect on the body and ensure that each student can perform. It is necessary to ensure the general requirements and their specificity when arranging lessons. Sports have a great impact on the development of the personality of children with disabilities as normal children. Sport is one of the most important conditions for everyone and is acceptable for any age group. All these procedures are more effective when performed in unison. Let's protect our child's life together for a healthy life and step into a healthy future Key words: Inclusion, inclusive education, inclusive physical education, a person with disabilities, special education

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the impairment of the body functions on the participation of people with disabilities in sports activities. Material and methods. The study was carried out in the institutions mostly attended by people with severe physical disabilities. The participants took a modified Kenny test and answered the questions of a questionnaire. The study sample consisted of 35 persons with severe physical disabilities. Results. The findings of this study showed that people with disabilities who were not engaged in sports were of much worse opinion about their health condition (P=0.02) and they needed more help from family or friends (P=0.035) compared to the disabled who were not engaged in sports, but in the group of people with disabilities who were engaged in sports, the correlations of those indicators were statistically significant (r=0.59 and r=0.68, respectively). The main motivation of sports participation of people with disabilities (about 80%) was the need for communication and gaining independence. Health improvement was mentioned by less than half of people with disabilities (about 41%) engaged in sports. Conclusions. The syndrome of movement function impairment, duration of impairment, marital status, the age of persons with disabilities, and objectively determined impairment of biosocial self-service functions did not impact sports participation of people with disabilities. However, subjective sensation of pain and the need of medical aid, which did not match the objective functional impairments, could be the obstacle for people with disabilities to participate in sports.

Worldwide, December 3 is the international day of persons with disabilities. As early as 1982, a 10-year programme of action for persons with disabilities was adopted, called the Decade of persons with disabilities, and at its end in 1992, the General Assembly declared December 3 as the International day of people with disabilities. The goal of this day was to promote the rights of persons with disabilities in all spheres of public life, as well as to attract the attention of the General public to the problems of disabled people. Every year there are more and more people with disabilities, so only in the Russian Federation the total number of disabled people is 9% of the population. Someone comes to terms with their fate and closes in the walls of their home, and someone continues to lead an active life, not wanting to change something in the usual way in connection with their new status. Such strong-minded people learn new professions, acquire previously unknown skills, and try to expand their horizons in various ways available to them. And some unique individuals in the desire to prove to others, and first of all to themselves, that disability is not a sentence, even take part in sports competitions organized specifically for people with disabilities. And if for any famous athlete participation in the Olympics, and even more so victory in it, is a matter of prestige and world recognition, for a disabled person participation in the Paralympic games primarily means victory of the spirit over the body, victory over their own helplessness and infirmity, recognition of the fact of beauty and fullness of life.

People with disability make up approximately 15% of the world’s population and are, therefore, a major focus of the ‘leave no-one behind’ agenda. It is well known that people with disabilities face exclusion, particularly in low-income contexts, where 80% of people with disability live. Understanding the detail and causes of exclusion is crucial to achieving inclusion, but this cannot be done without good quality, comprehensive data. Against the background of the Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006, and the advent of 2015’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development there has never been a better time for the drive towards equality of inclusion for people with disability. Governments have laid out targets across seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with explicit references to people with disability. Good quality comprehensive disability data, however, is essential to measuring progress towards these targets and goals, and ultimately their success. It is commonly assumed that there is a lack of disability data, and development actors tend to attribute lack of data as the reason for failing to proactively plan for the inclusion of people with disabilities within their programming. However, it is an incorrect assumption that there is a lack of disability data. There is now a growing amount of disability data available. Disability, however, is a notoriously complex phenomenon, with definitions of disability varying across contexts, as well as variations in methodologies that are employed to measure it. Therefore, the body of disability data that does exist is not comprehensive, is often of low quality, and is lacking in comparability. The need for comprehensive, high quality disability data is an urgent priority bringing together a number of disability actors, with a concerted response underway. We argue here that enough data does exist and can be easily disaggregated as demonstrated by Leonard Cheshire’s Disability Data Portal and other studies using the Washington Group Question Sets developed by the Washington Group on Disability Statistics. Disaggregated data can improve planning and budgeting for reasonable accommodation to realise the human rights of people with disabilities. We know from existing evidence that disability data has the potential to drive improvements, allowing the monitoring and evaluation so essential to the success of the 2030 agenda of ‘leaving no-one behind’.
