The Procedures for inclusive teaching at establishments of general education approved by Resolution No. 872 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine
(of August 15, 2011) and the Concept of development of inclusive education approved by Order No. 912 of the Ministry of Education and Science

persons, Standard Rules on equalization of opportunities for persons with
disabilities, Salamanca Statement on principles, policy and practice in

with special educational needs only on children with the deficiencies of
physical or mental development, including children with disabilities, although according to the UNESCO classification this notion also covers
rural, Roma, homeless children (“street children”) and others. Therefore,
implementation of inclusive education is to provide for interaction with
parents and the public, adjustment of the premises and other resources
to the particular needs of the children, a methodology for assessment of

and experience between schools involved in inclusive education, development of projects designed to help schools to modify the existing educational culture and practices, and modern innovative and flexible modes
of teaching and evaluation of this category of pupils.
