INCLUSIVE HIGHER EDUCATION AS A PART OF THE LIFE TRAJECTORY: THE EXPERIENCE OF NSU GRADUATES WITH DISABILITIES

Abstract

The increase of “friendliness” of the education system towards individuals with disabilities (people with health limitations), especially the development of inclusive education, is a relatively recent humanistic trend that has been set by the most economically developed societies and in which our country has been responsibly integrating for the last two decades. The article summarizes the results of the survey that was conducted in 2017 among NSU graduates with disabilities. The study was aimed at describing how higher education promotes acquisition of the social and physical space by individuals with disabilities, which means ensuring the social inclusion.
