It is important for us not only to educate children with disabilities, but also to organize their constant psychological support. To achieve results, we need a psychological service, groups of teachers, councils, such forums as the one at which we have gathered are important. It is also important to work with children with deviant behavior, this is the prevention of destructive actions.— the press service of the government of Sevastopol quotes the deputy director of the relevant department.

Irina Selivanova, Head of the Department of Special Education, thanked her colleagues for the fruitful cooperation, thanks to which the most difficult situations are resolved.

Teachers, parents and children are waiting for your help. There are more and more children with disabilities, and the success of these children in education will depend on how much we can unite the forces of teaching staff. I want to emphasize the importance of working with parents. They do not always understand how it is necessary to interact with special children: perhaps due to lack of information, perhaps due to unwillingness to advertise— Irina Selivanova notes.

Four thematic platforms worked during the forum. At the cross-conference “New Meanings of Psychological and Pedagogical Traditions and Practices in Education”, the participants discussed the issues of support and personal development of students of educational institutions in which psychological and pedagogical classes function. Master classes for mentors were presented at the second site. The third platform was the cases “Effective interaction of psychological service specialists, accompanied by students with disabilities and special educational needs”.
