The methodical foundations of training for people with special needs are disclosed
in the scientific works of domestic scientists. Thus, the concepts and models of
people’s with special needs training (D.Dikova-Favorska, G.Burova); methods of
cultivating spiritual values for students with special needs (O.Horoshailo) were
substantiated; issues of young people’s with special needs integration (G.Pershko,
O.Tarasov, S.Omelchenko); pedagogical conditions for the rehabilitation of students
with special needs (M.Roganova, A.Shevtsov) are investigated; theoretical and
practical aspects of social-pedagogical support, integration and socio-psychological
adaptation of students with disabilities to study at universities are analyzed
(M.Andreyeva, Y.Boginskaya, V.T.Kerklevich, T.Grebenyuk, T.Komar, V.Skrypnik,
M.Tomchuk). The theoretical and methodological foundations of of labor potential
restoration’s problem and the integration of persons with special needs are researched
in works of O.Andryeyeva, Yu.Blynkov, S.Vasin, O.Kolesnykova, A.Konovalov,
N.Klushyn, T.Malyeyev, O.Malysheva, A.Makaryan, D.Nekypelov, D.Ryazanov,
V.Safonov, I.Syrnikov, V.Tkachenko, Yu.Khaustov, S.Rykk. Despite many domestic
and foreign scientists’ achievements, problem of increasing the inclusive mechanisms’
effectiveness, as an effective means of eliminating social exclusion of persons with
disabilities, remains poorly understood [15].
Ukraine’s integration into the global economic space requires the implementation
of an effective model of innovative development, which involves not only the
adaptation of economic, fiscal and monetary policy to the tendencies of the
information-oriented industrial society, but also the dominance of such important
factors as high technologies, knowledge intensity of production, human capital.
It should be highlighted that innovation and human development are closely
interconnected. Thus, the basis of innovation development is a person’s creative
abilities: to create, develop, accumulate and use new knowledge in different spheres of
activity. Human capital as a resource of the enhancing knowledge, abilities, skills and
acquirements accumulated by a person, which increases in the process of its use in
various spheres of social life, is an innovation development resource, that is, the
resource of creation, introduction, use and growth of intellectual products of
innovations as a factor of various changes in society in general and in its various
spheres − industrial, social, cultural, etc., and at different levels: enterprise, industry,
region, country, world economy. Human development as the carrier of innovative
human capital is the goal of social and economic development as exactly the person is
the creator, producer and end user of innovative products and services.
In the context of radical transformation of Ukraine’s social economic system,
particular attention should be paid to the continuance and development of the nation’s
labour potential as well as targeted actions to improve its quality.
