With the impetus of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with  disabilities, inclusive education is an idea whose time has arrived around the world. Its scope goes far beyond learners with disabilities and has now been extended to cover all learners with special educational needs, whatever their origins. It also extends beyond the mere placement of such learners in regular classes to include consideration of multiple facets of education. The present paper examines a model of inclusive education that, in addition to placement, embraces vision, curriculum, assessment, teaching, acceptance, access, support, resources and leadership. For each of these facets, criteria are specified and indicators are suggested.

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 article analyzes the idea of inclusive education as a practical component of social justice. The development of inclusive education involves a change in the educational paradigm. Inclusion is based on the principle of access to education for all students in difficult life situations, not just for people with disabilities. Inclusive education is a transition from the theory of postulates, rules, models that apply exclusively to people with disabilities, to an education system that includes children with special educational needs. This is a significant shift in education towards a comprehensive, holistic approach based on the interests of the child (student).Such an approach requires the creation and implementation of the concept of social justice and overcoming discrimination in its various forms, developing a strategy for training and retraining of teachers and administrative staff, opening centralized resource centers and socially oriented programs, involving parents as actors, developing multidisciplinary cooperation and interaction all stakeholders at the local level, governance at the level of the educational institution, education planning for all, global partnership, addressing early intervention.The importance of inclusive education is unquestionable, and it applies to both normally developing children and children with special needs. The first to be included in the learning process are convinced that there are other children, not like themselves, but who need to be treated as themselves and accept these children as they are; others, i.e. abnormal children, when accepted, involuntarily become more socialized and integrated into society. However, the real results of integration (in the form of tolerant interaction and acceptance of others as they are) are slow, and provide sufficient progress in the readiness of parents of children with normal mental development to allow their children to learn with children in need.The tendency to constructively rethink the experience gained in Ukraine is largely related to overcoming the negativist approach to the world experience of raising children with special educational needs, which we have recently cultivated. Because finding a balance of these approaches in theory and practice will help identify acceptable ways to implement inclusive education in our country.

The state of the problem under study in the psychological and methodological literature is analyzed in the article. The content of the definitions: “communicative skills”, “communicative-speech skills” and “communicative-speech development” has been clarified. The developmental features of communication and speech skills for primary school children in inclusive educational conditions are considered. The methodological techniques for the formation and development of communicative-speech skills in inclusive classes of elementary school are determined.Effective types of corrective assistance for children with special educational needs in the lessons of the subject “I explore the world”are the actualization of the motive of communicative action, the creation of emotional play situations, the organization of attention and increased speech control, and a decrease of the volume and the rate of work. For children of primary school age with special educational needs, long-term types of assistance are advisable for the formation of arbitrary forms of communication activity.In order to develop communicative speech skills, it is recommended to use in classrooms such methodological techniques as working with a terms dictionary, explaining the meaning of concepts, introducing new terms into one’s own statements, analyzing natural objects, composing stories on a given topic using the studied concepts.Organizational forms and methodological techniques for the formation of communicative speech skills are analyzed – a system of differentiated tasks, conversations based on illustrative material, role-playing games, group work, research projects, excursions, multimedia methods etc. The pedagogical conditions for the formation of communicative speech skills for primary school age children in inclusive classes at the lessons of the subject “I explore the world” are determined and characterized.In order to develop the communicative speech skills of schoolchildren studied in an inclusive learning environment, it is necessary to provide the early inclusion of primary schoolchildren with special educational needs in the process of systematic correctional and developmental work.

Educational Inclusion

Both internationally and nationally there is an ongoing debate on the benefits of including children with special educational needs in the educational structures alongside their peers. School integration of children with special educational needs creates discussions, disputes, but it is a tendency throughout the world. Inclusive education encompasses this discussion and, in addition, the orientation towards quality and efficiency of the entire educational system, formal and non-formal. Some parents, specialists and even people with disabilities argue that a person who is prevented from participating with his or her peers in general schools is denied the fundamental right to education. Others, on the contrary, assert that by integrating into the general schools many children with special needs are not assured of meeting their needs. Therefore, these different opinions and circumstances have influenced the purpose of the present paper; that consists in the deeper study of awareness and practices in the field of educational inclusion of children with special educational needs (SEN) at school and community level.

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.
