Under the influence of global processes of humanization, modern Ukrainian society is changing its attitude towards people with disabilities. These changes can be seen as overcoming social and educational barriers.One of these barriers is the traditional division of education into general secondary and special (correctional), which are represented by segregation institutions. But the modern approach to the development of education breaks down this barrier.Integration processes into the European community determine the urgency of the problem of inclusive education. It is primarily due to the fact that the number of children in need of remedial education is growing steadily. The emergence of the ideology of inclusive education is due to the need to improve the system of organization of children’s education. This improvement is to create a single educational space for each child.The term “inclusion” differs from the terms “integration” and “segregation”. With inclusion, all stakeholders must be actively involved to achieve the desired result. Recognizing the value of inclusive education, it is necessary to take into account certain factors that hinder the implementation of the ideas of inclusive education. We believe that this is primarily not a tolerant attitude of the population to children with disabilities, psychological unwillingness to accept these children as full members of society. But despite the emerging disputes and disagreements, the system of inclusive education is an effective mechanism for the development of an inclusive society. This is the key to inclusive education. Rejecting all misunderstandings, we can say that inclusive education is education for all, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic or other characteristics. It gives the opportunity to join the general process of learning and education (development and socialization), which then allows an adult to become an equal member of society. In general, an inclusive form of education and upbringing is a long-term strategy.The development of inclusive education in Ukraine requires the creation of a barrier-free environment that includes physical and psychological components. Special work with the use of additional education resources on the organization of interaction of children with and without disabilities, aimed at harmonizing children’s relationships; creating an atmosphere of emotional comfort and mutual acceptance. By changing society’s attitude towards children with disabilities, the process of integrating such children into secondary schools will gain popularity and become successful. A well-organized inclusive education will help parents of children to look at the phenomenon of integration in a new way and provide evidence that children with disabilities will not only not harm their children to full development, but will also provide additional opportunities.
