Introduction: Modern changes in the global education paradigm require the integration of inclusiveness as a fundamental principle of the human right to education. The topic of this study is relevant due to the lack of properly developed modern approaches to the mechanisms of psychological and pedagogical support for people with special educational needs. The main purpose of this study is to identify opportunities to modify educational programs for children with such needs.
Methods: The methods of system analysis, synthesis and scientific abstraction, comparative analysis were used.
Results: The analysis includes the study of modern educational innovations developed within inclusive programs. As in other areas, special attention is paid to inclusive processes in the course of systemic digitalization of education. The preparation of multimedia methods, thematic case studies, immersive technologies, gamification elements, etc. was studied. As a result, a different model for the development of inclusive education was developed, which includes new pedagogical tools: specialized online courses, interactive learning components, active learning for parents, problem-based learning, and individualized learning. The importance of didactic support for students' independent work in the system of technological inclusive education is outlined.
Conclusions: The conditions of pedagogical support that contribute to the achievement of the optimal level of independence of students with intellectual disabilities during practical skills and sensory integration lessons are systematized. Inclusive pedagogical technologies in the Ukrainian theories and practice of general education should be activated by the teacher when forming the list of enrolled subjects.
