TEACHING CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES THROUGH THE EYES OF TEACHERS AND PARENTS (BASED ON ANALYSIS OF SURVEY RESULTS)

Summary. Questionnaire surveys were conducted in 10 integrated (special) schools and boarding schools of Baku in May-June 2023 in connection with the study of difficulties in the integration of children with limited health opportunities into life. Representatives of two social groups participated in the survey: teachers (500 teachers) and parents of children with disabilities (300 parents). The choice of these two social groups is related to the fact that all respondents are participants in the educational process and that their interests are primarily addressed in the process of applying special education. In this article, the obtained results were analyzed, and the problems in the application of special education were reflected. At the same time, it is possible to determine the ways and directions of development and improvement of special education on the basis of the revealed problems.
