Results: The analysis includes the study of modern educational innovations developed within inclusive programs. As in other areas, special attention is paid to inclusive processes in the course of systemic digitalization of education.

As a result, a different model for the development of inclusive education was developed, which includes new pedagogical tools: specialized online courses, interactive learning components, active learning for parents, problem-based learning, and individualized learning. The importance of didactic support for students' independent work in the system of technological inclusive education is outlined. Conclusions: The conditions of pedagogical support that contribute to the achievement of the optimal level of independence of students with intellectual disabilities during practical skills and sensory integration lessons are systematized.
