The author analyzes the domestic and foreign experience of working with children with special educational needs. The following approaches are described: expanding access to education (its main goal is to expand educational opportunities for people with mental and physical disabilities, ethnic minorities, and people from disadvantaged sections of society), mainstreaming (this approach implies that children with disabilities communicate with their peers on holidays, during their leisure time), integration (means bringing the needs of children with mental and physical disorders into line with the habitual traditional education system), and inclusiveness (it is such an educational activity when people with limitations and needs can be trained together with people without any disabilities).
