The term „special educational abilities“ refers to children whose educational needs arise from disabilities, dysfunctions or learning difficulties. In addition to the classical methods of training and education, they also need specially oriented methods for educational impact and training, corresponding to the needs for the formation, recovery and improvement of impaired functions. Children with special educational needs need daily relationships and contacts with normal children. In this way, children with learning difficulties are provided with an environment to achieve the main goal - the formation of their socially adaptive behavior. At the heart of this approach is integration. The integration process must be bilateral. On the one hand, to include work on the socialization of children with disabilities in their usual environment, and on the other - to change the attitude of the environment, respectively the attitudes of people towards them. School integration implies enriching the environment for children with SEN, applying a system of measures to provide them with the necessary educational services in the general education system, to meet their needs, desires, interests and aspirations in such a way as to achieve the greatest possible their effective education and development.

<p>Discussions of 'special educational needs' (SEN), 'children with SEN' and 'inclusion' continue to portray disabled learners as problematic 'others' to be tolerated and managed (Allan 2004). The neo-liberal prioritisation of entrepreneurship and autonomy create further problems for disabled learners attempting to negotiate an increasingly market-driven education system. This paper comes about as a result of eight-weeks spent as a volunteer in an organisation offering self-advocacy based projects to young people with the label of &lsquo;learning difficulties&rsquo;, and considers such projects alongside Deleuzoguatarrian Disability Studies discussions of socially just pedagogy. By drawing on Deleuze and Guattari&rsquo;s metaphor of the rhizome, and considering desire as productive, it is argued that such projects have the potential to offer an alternative, more engaged and socially-just education to the one currently offered in schools.</p><p>Keywords</p><p>self-advocacy, pedagogy, education, Deleuze and Guattari</p>

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 process of socialisation and integration represents unity, and at the same time – a continuous controversy between two aspects: socialisation and individuality. Due to this, the process is a single upside stream – the entry of a child into the world of adults, in the social world. Every child is a unique personality with its individual qualities, interests, abilities and educational needs. Every child with special educational needs has the right to be taught on an individual schedule with content, matching its own necessities and capacity. The general education kindergarten, in which the authors work and teach pupils with special educational needs has established a tolerant community and guarantees schooling, tutoring and mentorship for everybody.

The transformation of the classical school into a humanistic one, which started in the last decade of the 20th century, has accelerated a lot in the present century. How did the content and the process of natural sciences education change for students with special educational needs (SEN)? The research reviews documents, research literature and textbooks for students with SEN; it deals with the issues of organizing the process and content of their education and self-education. Adapted natural science textbooks for primary and high school are suitable for students with learning difficulties, disorders or mild learning difficulties. Textbooks for students with SEN partly satisfy the needs of these students. However, it would be useful to write natural science textbooks of a lower degree of difficulty for the students whose SEN are big or very big due to the moderate learning difficulties.

This is a very new insight, as the Teachers’ Ethics Code was approved only on 11 June 2018 by order No. V-561 of the Minister of Education and Science. From the teachers’ point of view, for students with special educational needs to increase learning motivation teachers use interesting innovation teaching methods, practical work, use of ICT, creation of educational environments, oral and written honors, gratitude.

The article analyzes the historical stages of inclusive education in the United States: the first – 1960 – the stage of segregation and marginalization of people with special educational needs, the second (from 1968 to 1975) – the stage of normalization, the idea of involving disabled students in the educational environment, the third stage – educational mainstreaming (1975–1983), the fourth stage – (1983–2004) – inclusive education characterized by joint training of people with special needs with peers using typical development, the fifth –mixed educational system – a comprehensive inclusive education system starting in 2004 and until now in the United States.It was determined that the definition of “special educational needs” (learning disability), means developmental delay, disorder of one or more processes related to speaking, reading, pronunciation, writing or arithmetic abilities as a result of possible cerebral dysfunction, but not in the result of mental disorders, loss of sensitivity, cultural, educational or upbringing factors. It has been found that disorder or disability is not one specific concept, but often a mixture of disorders grouped under one broad term, and inclusive education is seen as “the process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of students by ensuring their participation in learning, cultural activities and community life and reducing exclusion in education and the learning process”. Now intellectual level is determined by using standard intelligence tests, mostly Stanford-Binet, that allows to use individualized curricula as a basis for teaching children with disabilities in inclusive settings. But it is still clear that even in such circumstances, the problems of inclusive education remain to be complex and ambiguous. Keywords: special educational needs, children with disabilities, inclusive environment, inclusion, child with special educational needs, inclusive education, state acts, US general education system.
