In this article, the authors point to the most acute problem today of children with special learning needs in an inclusive environment. Today it is one of the world’s problems. The 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Salamanca Declaration on Principles of Education Policy with Special Needs (Salamanca, Spain) of 1994 are the legal basis for this issue. The “State Program for the Development of Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2011 - 2020” says that the legislation of our country provides equal rights to children with special learning needs, and in the coming period the number of kindergartens and schools with inclusive education will increase. In accordance with world processes, our country is also expanding inclusive education. It is well known that there is a need for specialists to educate children with special needs. In this regard, the authors disclose the practice of the department of special education Abay KazNPU for the training of speech pathologist. At the same time, given that young people today do not understand speech pathology well, the author points out the importance of involving the media in this process, thereby emphasizing the importance of expanding the understanding of inclusion, by parents, young people and the general public.

Cognitive apprenticeship emphasizes a combination of authentic problem-solving experiences with expert guidance in lieu of decontextualized instruction. As an instructional approach, cognitive apprenticeship can support the acquisition, use, and transfer of basic and advanced cognitive skills required in school and adult life by learners with special needs. This article first examines assumptions of teaching and learning that may have a negative impact on the education and postschool success of special populations. From this overview, several emerging aspects of cognitive science considered germane to advanced thinking are identified and reviewed. A model of cognitive apprenticeship is then described as a practical means of providing academic instruction to students with special learning needs. Lastly, implications of adopting this instructional approach with special populations are discussed.

The advantages and disadvantages of including young people with special needs in the educational process are analyzed. The advantages of inclusion in the educational process both for young people with special needs and for typical applicants for higher education are substantiated. Results. A SWOT analysis of the socialization of young people with special educational needs was conducted. It is proposed to introduce measures to attract young people with special educational needs for their socialization, adaptation and integration into society. Conclusion. It has been proven that the problem of inclusive education is becoming more and more widespread every year, so higher education institutions need to respond immediately, developing mechanisms for attracting and further cooperation of young people with special needs. The practical value of the proposed ideas is: creating conditions for improving the competence of higher education students when working with people with disabilities; approbation of educational programs focused on training specialists with special needs; providing comprehensive and equitable quality education and encouraging lifelong learning opportunities for all.

The study examines the current state of implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilites (CRPD) with regard to the inclusion of children with special needs in mainstream schools in the German states. It provides a comprehensive structural analysis of this area. Article 24 of the convention obliges the signatory states to guarantee an inclusive education system at all levels. In order to examine the extent to which the German states (Länder) implement this requirement in law and practice in their school systems, empirically measurable indicators were formed on the basis of the provisions of the CRPD. Even more than 10 years after ratification of the CRPD, the majority of the German states still face major challenges. Only a few German states are currently undergoing a process of transformation, which is why the majority of children and young people with special educational needs continue to be trained in special and segregated structures.

  The XXI century is characterized by the understanding that only individual self-realization is the primary goal of any social development. These changes in public consciousness have caused the emergence of a new paradigm of education based on approaches and concepts developed by modern practice. This includes the idea of "inclusive education." Inclusive education in Kazakhstan is in the formation process, therefore, establishing a system of inclusive education requires a solution at the state level. Coupled with the global pandemic which has affected every person especially the most vulnerable kids, the State Program for the Development of Education and Science in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2020-2025 raises an urgent problem of developing inclusive education. This study conducted a survey using an online poll with participants who are parents of kids with special needs. We asked what kind of challenges they met during Covid 19 pandemic time. Respondents ranked the following topics as the most complicated: lack of funding and resources reduced effectiveness of the educational staff training system, unregulated management and legislative framework, weak coordination of external services, and insufficient participation of the public and private sectors. The results of the research demonstrated that very few schoolchildren with special educational needs receive quality inclusive education.   Keywords: Covid 19; inclusive education; special needs, parents.

As societies move toward a deeper engagement with humanitarianism and egalitarianism, education systems have increasingly embodied a commitment to principles of inclusion. The field of gifted and talented education (GATE) has reflected these changes in recent discussions around equity, diversity, and inclusive practices. This article aims to re-examine the practices of gifted education and rethink the possibility of generating an egalitarianism-based, GATE-derived inclusive education discourse that can serve as a parallel to the predominant humanitarianism-drive inclusive education movement. Within a discourse of self-actualization, we propose framing “gifted” as a process-based, rather than person-based, construct that applies to all students as they are enabled to transact their gifts and talents through engaging in a “gift-ed” process through honing self-knowledge and learning gifted behaviors. We advocate the use of person-first language, (i.e., students with advanced learning needs/advanced and special learning needs (ALN/ASLN)) that will encourage specific interventions.

Purpose The purpose of this review article is to review the progress made in the treatment and education of persons with disabilities in Zambia, to identify barriers that have hindered change and initiatives that have facilitated positive changes in Zambia, and to highlight the initial steps toward the establishment of the profession of speech-language pathology in Zambia. Conclusions There have been remarkable strides in the education of children with disabilities and the establishment of support for persons with disabilities since the Republic of Zambia became an independent nation in 1964. Zambia's limited resources, understanding of disabilities, and cultural and social barriers have hampered efforts to provide special services to children. Despite these challenges, many policies have been adopted and laws passed to protect the rights of those with disabilities, including access to quality equitable and inclusive education programs. Though implementation of the stated ideals has been difficult, and poverty continues in many areas, preparation of special education teachers and inclusion practices has improved. One vital service for children with disabilities, speech/language therapy, remains outside the new provisions. Speech therapy is not currently provided in the schools and is rarely available elsewhere. Though there are currently no Zambian college or university preparation programs for speech therapists, plans to bring speech pathology to Zambia are underway.
