4.1.1. Overall Goal

Creating an inclusive complex, which will meet the European standards, in purpose to develop and integrate the children with special educational needs (with resource development zones for the child) and to teach, socialize the children with special educational needs. Making these development zones is very important for creating the effective environment for the children with special educational needs.

4.1.2. Specific Objectives

1) Improving the quality of the education and expansion of the correctional services for the children with special educational needs through creating the necessary environment and making some additional rooms for the specialists, such as a psychologist, a physical rehabilitation specialist, a correctional teacher, a speech therapist, an instructor for labor adaptation and therapy, a touch sensor specialist;

6) development of auditory, visual, tactile perception development of the speech formation of the pronunciation, development of the mental processes which the children with special educational needs have;

Inclusive education is one of the priority directions in the education, which the state guarantees and develops. Since there is an active transition from a medical to a psychobiosocial model of inclusive education in Ukraine, the number of children with special educational needs in the school is increasing constantly. Therefore, now children from the specialized institutions have an alternative to study in the general education institutions. Nowadays 32 children with special educational needs are studying at School № 22. So by 2030, the number of children with educational needs up to 100 people is expected to increase. The children with special educational needs need the expansion of the correctional and developing services in order to improve the quality of education and successful socialization. We are planning to create           such an inclusive complex which will be able to provide a complete list of correctional and developing services and will be useful for all the children of the school because it will provide them a comfortable stay in a common educational environment.

The main target group is the children with special educational needs and 854 children of the school. The total number of the children with special educational needs is:
