 Annotation
The unfavorable trend of the spread of health disorders both in the world and in Ukraine is becoming increasingly important. This necessitates solving the problems of accessibility of inclusive space for people with special needs, because a full life in society for such persons is impossible without obtaining quality education and successful professional self-realization. Teaching children and youth with special needs is carried out using special methods, techniques and in conditions that maximize the acquisition of knowledge and social development. However, there are many problems in the process of special or inclusive education and further employment of young people with special needs. One of these problems is the lack of psychological support and unpreparedness of modern teachers for successful interaction with children and youth with special needs in the educational process.
